Lots of lush aromatic of ripe black cherry, plum, cassis and blue figs. This full-bodied wine integrates lots of black fruit, mixed with vanilla, cinnamon spice, and ripe preserve notes of figs. The 2019 Cabernet “Port” is a rich and complex wine supported by velvety and soft tannin having a perfect balance between sweetness, alcohol, and acidity. Drinking on release but will offer more rewards by aerating the wine in a decanter for six hours before serving. Simply put, just a classic Port style dessert wine that will get better every year. A favorite to our winemaker Sofia who spent lots of time crafting this first release.

Notes

Our first dessert wine (Port style) made in a “lagar fermentor” (a four feet deep fermenting vessel used in traditional Port making in Portugal) using Cabernet Sauvignon chosen among one of the best vineyards in Santa Barbara County: The Riata Oak vineyard. A full rich and concentrated not too sweet “Vintage style Port” that will last two decades in your cellar.
