2023 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon
Our fourth single-varietal Estate Cabernet Sauvignon is a testament to refinement. With only a limited yield, much of this cherished varietal enriches our Hogback Mountain blend and Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon. This single varietal, is comprised of 92% Cabernet Sauvignon and elegantly accented with 4% Cabernet Franc and 4% Petit Verdot. The wine captivates from the first encounter with a handsome garnet color. On the nose, it is sumptuous and brimming with vibrant fruit. Notes of blackcurrant intertwine with a whisper of cassis, offering a rich and inviting bouquet. The palate is equally expressive, with bold fruit cascading into soft yet full tannins and a trace of nutmeg. A graceful yet spirited character carries through to a lingering finish, where medium tannins provide structure and poise. The nuanced use of oak softens the tannins and imparts a delicate trace of vanilla that endures long after the sip. Impeccably balanced, this wine complements grilled and roasted meats, pasta, and wild game. Dry-rubbed chicken is a perfect match. It also pairs beautifully with a variety of roasted or vegetables. Savor it alongside shaved parmesan or an intensely sharp cheddar. Age-worthy and captivating, this Cabernet Sauvignon delights in its youthful vigor but promises a deeper, more supple evolution over the next seven to ten years. Enjoy now or cellar until 2030 to experience its full maturation
