Tasting Notes
The 2016 vintage initially tracked toward an early harvest, but an unusually cool August slowed ripening and extended hang time. This prolonged growing season allowed for greater precision in picking decisions and contributed to wines of layered complexity and balance. Now, after nearly ten years, these Cabernets have reached their peak, offering softer tannins, deeper complexity, and evolved flavors of dried fruit, tobacco leaf, and spice.
This wine is bottled unfined and unfiltered to preserve its character. Natural sediment may occur.
The Winemaker’s Collection is personal. It’s a reflection of the wines I’ve watched evolve over the past decade at my family’s winery—a keepsake of our history that's meant to be shared. Like turning the pages of a family photo album, both the wines and their labels tell the story of a singular moment in our journey, offering a chance to experience the present through the lens of the past. Tasting these wines today transports me back to the growing season’s challenges and triumphs, the excitement of harvest, and the patience required during barrel aging.
