Aromas of fresh berries – blackberry, blueberry, raspberry – with notes of fragrant violets and a touch of minerality. The aromas evolve into milk chocolate, cedar and cinnamon spice. The palate is balanced and elegant with the finesse that we have grown to expect from this site.

  • Vineyard Notes: The Clif Family Winery Cold Springs vineyard is located on the south side of Howell Mountain. This 5.5-acre vineyard sits at an elevation of 1660 ft, nestled amongst tall evergreens. The soil is decomposed volcanic ash, also known as tuff, which provides fast drainage and low nutrition. The results are plants with deep roots and low vigor that produce small berries of superb quality.
  • Certifications: CCOF-certified organic, Napa Green Certified

Winemaking Highlights
Hand harvested in the cool morning hours, the fruit is hand sorted before and after the destemmer. After a three-day cold soak, the juice is inoculated with cultured yeast. During fermentation, temperature and extraction are carefully managed. The wine is then pressed off the skins and placed in French oak barrels for aging. Prior to bottling, the winemaker selects the very best barrels for this small production, single vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon.
