Wine Description
During harvest, we work with our viticulture team to carefully select grapes with ripe flavors and mature tannins. Once at the winery, the fruit is crushed and placed into stainless-steel tanks for fermentation. Frequent pump-overs maximize contact between the juice and skins, allowing a thorough extraction of aromas and flavors. Following malolactic fermentation, the wine spends nine months on French and American oak to give it gentle spice nuances and structure.
Tasting Note
Toasted oak and dark fruits introduce our Coastal Estates Cabernet Sauvignon. Straightforward and well-balanced, it expresses blackberry and black cherry in equal parts to the toasty, vanilla-oak spices. For all its “black” character, the fruit remains bright and fresh, joined by subtle toffee-coffee notes. Juicy and long, the palate is structured by ripe, easy tannins. This is an enjoyable, pop-the-cork wine made for everyday occasions.
