"This full-bodied wine is satisfyingly rich yet taut, with flavors of ripe blackberries, fresh black plums, bitter chocolate and stones. Long finish. Sourced from old vineyards on Moon Mountain. Drink or hold."

"A deeper opaque purple/red hue, the 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Fondo Vineyard blends Monte Rosso and Bedrock Vineyard fruit. Perfumed and approachable, with fresh plums, pepper oils, earth, and rustic charm, it carries more gravelly density to the tannins while never showing excessive heat from the vintage."
