2021 Bismark Cabernet Sauvignon 750ml
Full Winemaker Notes Coming Soon.
Vineyard Source: Our Bismark Mountain Ranch is high above the city of Sonoma and San Pablo Bay. Here on the southwestern flanks of the Mayacamas Mountains we grow 27 acres of Cabernet Sauvignon amid outcroppings of Rhyolite. We began planting in 1991 and continue to fine tune our mix of cultivars to this day. This is steep ground; shared with Creosote bush, grey pine, coyote, and mountain lion. Topographically it is similar to the Douro. Windy, sun drenched yet moderate in temperature, Bismark grudgingly produces grapes with an intense, deeply concentrated flavor.
Tasting Notes: Aromas of raspberry, blackberry and freshly ground coffee combine with flavors of cherry, pomegranate and rhubarb crumble.
