2015 Cabernet Sauvignon

2015 Cabernet Sauvignon "The Ranch"

Our “Ranch” Cabernet Sauvignon is produced from grapes grown in our Lost Orchard, Lower, and Brothers Vineyards, blended with Merlot and Petit Verdot – all estate fruit which comes together to create a powerful but approachable wine in a classic Bordeaux style.  After tasting the ’15 Ranch in barrel, Antonio Galloni called it “... deep, explosive, and flamboyant ... a Cabernet of total allure ... the style of the vintage comes through beautifully in plush black cherry and plum fruit.”  85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot. 1,292 cases made.

Wine Profile
Winemaker Notes
The 2015 Ranch has a brooding bouquet of black plums, cedar and violets. Dark fruit, anise and sage follow on the palate. The wine is seamless and rich supported by warm, chalky tannins. The Ranch is both indulgent and savory with a clean finish. It is made to be enjoyed immediately upon release and for the next 10 years.
