Stricker Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

Savor the bold, mountain-grown character of our 2021 Stricker Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon. Grown at elevations between 1,000 and 1,500 feet in the rugged Mount Veeder AVA, this wine reflects the dramatic landscape of steep terraces and rocky soils. The vineyard, planted with the historic Kunde clone, benefits from cool temperatures and shading from tall redwoods, resulting in a Cabernet Sauvignon that is rich and nuanced.

This wine features intense aromas of ripe black plum, bay leaf, and espresso. The palate is concentrated and complex, with flavors of cassis, dark chocolate, and hints of cedar and saffron, balanced by a firm minerality. Aged for 20 months in French oak, this wine offers a powerful yet refined expression of the Mount Veeder terroir, perfect for enjoying now or cellaring for future enjoyment.
