2023 California cabernet sauvignon
Deep purple in the glass, this Cabernet Sauvignon opens with expressive aromas of ripe plum, black peppercorn, cedar, baking spices, leather, violet, and a subtle touch of toffee. On the palate, bold black cherry and black plum take center stage, supported by a medium body and well-structured tannins. The finish is firm and drying.

The 2023 vintage in Red Hills Lake County delivered optimal conditions for Cabernet Sauvignon, with warm afternoons, volcanic soils, and high-elevation vineyards contributing to concentrated fruit and natural tannin structure. A long growing season allowed for gradual ripening, enhancing depth while preserving freshness. Careful fermentation was used to highlight the wine’s dark fruit core and spice-driven aromatics while maintaining a smooth, approachable texture.
This wine’s bold fruit and drying finish make it ideal alongside hearty dishes such as grilled ribeye, braised short ribs, rosemary lamb chops, mushroom risotto, or aged cheddar.
