Sycamore Vineyard, Cabernet Sauvignon
Image
Located on the southern end of the Rutherford Bench, Sycamore Vineyard’s proximity to
the Mayacamas Mountains provides the perfect climate for growing a rich, textured
Cabernet. The wine is intense in aromatic complexity, reminiscent of blackberry,
pomegranate syrup, black tea, and forest floor. The palate is rich and textured with flavors
of forest fruits, dark chocolate, bay leaf, and warm oak spices. The ‘Rutherford dust’ is
evident in the tannin structure, giving it textures that are bold but integrated. Aging potential in a proper cellar is 30 years or more.

"Wonderfully sleek, sophisticated, linear and layered, with great focus in the flavors and polish in the texture. Black cherries, blueberries, blackcurrants, bay leaves and touches of forest floor and leather. This amazingly well-balanced, silky and trimly structured wine is grown at the southern edge of the Rutherford AVA, adjacent to the Oakville AVA and situated between Staglin and To Kalon Vineyards. "
