"One of nature’s greatest unsolved mysteries meets one of our most beloved wines. Seeking to achieve the perfect, zero-deficit flavor profile, we harvest clusters at the point of perfect ripeness & combine them at the press before a slow, meticulous fermentation. Allowed to rest in perfect darkness, the unfolding of an elemental prowess takes shape. A smoldering nose of black pepper & currant melds seamlessly into a lush, robust palate of velvety violet, tobacco leaf, cassis & subtle licorice. Balanced acidity & integrated tannins linger at the tongue for what seems an endless night." —winemaker

"The Block Nine Cabernet Sauvignon exhibits aromas that gush of warm plum and blackberry fruit flavors. This wine is well built up front with flavors of black currant fruit, cassis and hints of sweet spice. It shows good energy as licorice and apple wood accents complete its complex finish. The 2020 growing season was generous is length and consistent temperatures. Flavors were strong at harvest and we think 2020 will prove to be a terrific vintage." —winemaker

"Following harvest, the grapes from each vineyard were sorted and destemmed, then fermented in individual lots. As the lots are aged in oak for 18 months, the barrels are tasted frequently to assess tannin and flavor development. Finally, the lots were blended together to balance the characteristics of each grape growing region." —winemaker
