2018 Cabernet Sauvignon
91 PTs. - Wine Enthusiast
This estate Cabernet Sauvignon hails from a south facing block of the vineyard at 2100 ft. where the soil is comprised of decomposed granite with layers of clay and loam producing a beautiful wine. The deep granite soils of this block develop grapes for intense flavorful, fruit forward complex wines. This block is named "Anna Maria" after our Assistant Winemaker as this is her favorite part of the entire property to take daily walks with "Lady", our Mirador winery dog.

Tasting Notes
This dense, impressive, well-saturated wine offers generous black fruits, dark chocolate and mint on a medium to full body and moderately tannic texture. It's delicious, well balanced and well-structured for mid-term aging. Best from 2024.
