Winery note: Sourced from one of our highest elevation vineyards, the 2016 Rockfall Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon features an impenitent wildness that expresses the rugged growing site above the fog line. Concentrated aromas of blackberry, fresh tobacco leaf, graphite and dark chocolate with nuanced undercurrents of mulling spices. This wine's powerful classic savory palate lies in perfect balance to its generous structure and dense plush tannin profile.
“Another gem that’s going to flirt with perfection in a decade is the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Rockfall Vineyard. Based on 100% Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon aged 20 months in 65% new French oak, its deep purple color is followed by a mammoth-sized bouquet of crème de cassis, lead pencil shavings, scorched earth, and graphite. Showing more spice and tobacco with time in the glass, it has incredible purity of fruit, building tannins, and flawless balance, all making for a majestic Sonoma Cabernet Sauvignon that will keep for 30 years or more.” – JD
“One of the highlights in this range, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Rockfall Vineyard is laced with the essence of crème de cassis, mint, crushed rocks, licorice, cloves and grilled herbs. Unctuous in feel, with plenty of backing structure, it feels wonderfully complete. This is an especially brooding, savory Cabernet, with everything in the right place.” – VM
