Cabernet Sauvignon 'Stone Cairn - Red Mountain'
This wine comes from Shaw, Obelisco, Quintessence, and Ciel du Cheval vineyards in the Red Mountain AVA. These particular vineyards always express the terroir of Red Mountain especially well. The rich soils, dependable air drainage, and limited rainfall result in highly concentrated berries with dense skins, rich inky color, and daring complexity. Aged 21 months in barrel, 55% new French oak. 585 cases produced.

"Blended with 5% Merlot, the 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon Stone Cairn opens with a wood-inflected nose (from the 50% new French oak). Elements of red potpourri and spiced dark red florals waft from the glass. Medium to full-bodied, it is expressive with flavors of blackberry jus before firm tannins grip the gumline. With a balanced structure and succulent acidity, the Cabernet ends with the earthy sensation of graphite and pencil shavings. Enjoy with food. Just under 6,000 bottles were produced."
