TASTING NOTES
The 2022 vintage being warmer than 2021, shows
more black fruits as its base. Black cherry,
boysenberry and black fig aromas jump out of the
glass. It is vibrant with nice perfume. The mouth is
very smooth, rich silky tannins go on forever. Good
tension in the mouth begs to have a second glass.
The complexity is beyond its years. A great
Alexander Valley Cabernet combined with a
vintage that will age gracefully. Dark fruit flavors
and beautiful structure make it a lovely wine for
food pairing. This wine’s elegance, acidity and
spice notes complement grilled or roasted dishes,
such as herb-crusted lamb, roasted duck or grilled
pork loin. The wine’s earthiness even compliments
vegetarian dishes, ratatouille or roasted root
vegetables.

VINEYARD NOTES
Made in tandem by Nick and his middle daughter,
Katherine, this very popular Cabernet Sauvignon
has become a close family tradition over the years.
The 2018 vintage marked a transition to an
incredible new vineyard called Stonemason Hill.
Located in Alexander Valley, this aptly-named site
has large rocks leading up to a stone-walled terrace.
Complex and elegant, this vineyard’s beautiful
gravel loam soil with mature vines—many over
thirty years old—is ideally suited for the
discerning tasters looking for an elegant wine with
loads of personality and style.
VINTAGE NOTES
2022 was a challenging growing year because of
little winter rain and several heat spikes throughout
the summer. This extended heat in late August
through Labor Day caused an earlier than usual
harvest. The overall quality of fruit in 2022 was
quite good and we should enjoy excellent wines.
