Angeline Cabernet Sauvignon

Description

VINEYARDS

Our Reserve is the embodiment of our favorite characteristics from one of the top regions in the state for Cabernet Sauvignon, with warmer daytime temperatures and a long growing season
that yield wines that are fruit-forward, but savory. With the intent to create a wine that is classic in style, we carefully choose and cultivate each lot to fully reflfl ect the amazing potential of Mendocino County as a Cabernet Sauvignon producer.

VINTAGE

The culmination of factors from another drought year in California surprised us with a beautiful vintage. An unseasonably dry and mild winter, which led to an early spring, forced the vines into bud break during peak frost season. A relatively warm, but even summer, resulted in early harvest dates, with lower-than-average yields
