Tasting Notes

The very deep, purple-black colored 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon is made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. It takes a fair amount of swirling to unlock an incredibly intense nose of dark chocolate, warm cassis, baked plums and Morello cherries plus touches of red roses, violets, pencil shavings, cinnamon stick and dusty soil with a hint of iron ore. The full-bodied palate is so exquisitely elegant, charged with electric black and red fruits and a firm frame of super-ripe, grainy tannins and bold freshness, finishing very long and very perfumed. This is pure energy in a glass! 2024-2058

100% Cabernet Sauvignon from the parcels bordering Simmons Creek. Certified organic by CCOF and biodynamic by Demeter. Aged for 20 months in 100% new oak. Very dark crimson. Luscious texture whereby the tannins are actually less obvious than in the Altagracia because the fruit is so concentrated and ripe – until the very end of the palate. Serious, complex wine. Really mid-Atlantic. With great vitality and it’s not ashamed of the tannin. 2022-2040
