A classic Cab that is all about the fruit and spice with aromas of tobacco and dried fruits. Red plum and cherry with subtle black pepper, blended with dark, dried cherries on the finish. The tannins are all encompassing, giving the wine structure and substance.
This wine consists of two separate lots from the Monte de Oro vineyard clone 8. Fermented in two tanks, inoculated with two different strains of yeast. The final blend using two two barrel lots, prodices wine with more complexity, dimension, more fruit character and aromatics.
