Oso Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon

Our goal with this wine is to showcase the rugged mountain fruit produced by our Oso Vineyard and with careful work in the cellar, we sculpted the tannins to be supple and approachable in its youth while maintaining the fruit's excellent aging potential. The grapes were hand-harvested, de-stemmed and crushed, and the fermenting juice went through a combination of gentle punch-downs and aerative pumpovers with rack and returns in order to keep the mountain fruit tannins supple and approachable while maximizing the depth of fruit extraction. The result is a beautifully balanced Cabernet Sauvignon, with a supple texture that can age gracefully in the cellar for many years, or be opened in its youth to display ripe fruit flavors and subtle oak nuances of chocolate, toffee, and toasted vanilla.
