Laurel Glen – Estate Cabernet Sauvignon – Sonoma Mountain

Overview: Laurel Glen Vineyard faces east, above the fog line. This optimal exposure captures the first rays of morning sunlight and avoids the burning heat of late afternoon. The thin, rocky soils promote efficient drainage and restrain vigor. The vineyard earned CCOF Organic Certification in 2014, thanks to the efforts of Viticulturist Phil Coturri. In addition to developing a comprehensive schedule of cover crops, he has updated the vineyard??s trellising system and pruning practices to achieve more even ripening and concentration in the grapes.

Tasting Notes: Aromatically this wine how jammy fruit perfumes of blueberries and blackberries, as well as notes of crushed rocks and dried flowers. On the palate the wine has higher acidity to balance out the flavors of dark chocolate, pie filling, and elegantly smooth tannins.
