Wine Production
Primarily aged in stainless steel with a touch of oak, this Cabernet Sauvignon opens with bright aromas of blackberry, blackcurrant, and ripe plum, accented by subtle hints of cedar and baking spice. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and expressive, showcasing fresh dark fruit flavors layered with cocoa and a touch of vanilla from the oak. Silky tannins and balanced acidity lead to a smooth, refined finish, highlighting the pure expression of Lodi fruit and its classic regional character.
Tasting Notes
In 2024, vineyards experienced a growing season defined by plentiful winter and spring rains that replenished soil moisture, followed by a hot, dry summer with sustained, above-average temperatures. These conditions accelerated ripening and increased vine stress, resulting in smaller berries and lighter yields. While yields were down, the concentrated fruit delivered intense color, rich flavors, and firm tannin structure, with careful canopy management, irrigation, and well-timed harvests proving essential for maintaining balance and preserving natural acidity.
