Nose

This tasty medium bodied wine introduces itself with ripe cherry and red plum. After a few sips and swirls the fruit comes forward and a not-so-subtle notion of damp earth permeates aura. The finish is refined and distinguished making this wine a perfect pair for a hearty meal such as a steak or pasta with red sauce. As with most Cabernet Sauvignon, time is a friend. This wine drinks beautifully today but will mature and improve well past the end of the decade.

Growing Conditions

2012 was one of the best years for the Malibu Coast. This Cabernet Sauvignon sits on a .23 hectare hillside that faces north in Lobo Canyon within the Malibu Coast. This clay/loam soil with temperatures ranging from 38 to 100 degrees Fahrenheit allow for this beautiful Cab to grow happily in the Malibu sun. We use sustainable farming methods and these wines were made organically.
