Tasting Notes
Displaying its deep ruby color, this wine leads with plum-blueberry compote with notes of Sencha tea and vanilla. The wine evolves gradually in the glass to reveal subtle hints of tobacco leaf. Introduction to the palate is dynamic, inviting the exploration of ripe, round tannins that create a structure that is generous yet balanced in design. The wine concludes with a very fresh, long, and aromatic finish.
Vintage Notes
A welcomed rainfall just before bloom set the stage for excellent fruit set for a small 2020 crop. Strong canopy growth offered the fruit protection from the short spells of summer heat as the season progressed toward an early and brief harvest. All fruit was harvested by hand in just under two weeks, commencing September 12th and ending on September 25th.

Vintage Notes
Welcomed rainfall in January and March nourished the soil for healthy bud break. Warmer May temperatures advanced bloom, leading to exceptional Summer growing conditions. Small canopies aided slow and steady sugar accumulation, resulting in a modest yield of exquisite quality. All fruit was hand-harvested over a 30 day period commencing September 6th.

Tasting Notes
The 2022 CASK Cabernet Sauvignon exudes inviting aromas of dark fruits and tobacco leaf, creating a rich and intriguing nose. On the palate, plum and blackberry notes dominate, contributing to the wine’s ripe and flavorful profile. The weighty finish is both long and balanced, allowing the depth of the fruit to carry through with elegance and structure.
Vintage Notes
The fall season began with promising rainfall, yet the 2022 vintage ultimately turned out to be drier than expected. Nearly 80% of the year’s precipitation fell before December. Fortunately, the beneficial rains in the fall of 2021, combined with warm temperatures at the end of March, contributed to robust nutrient storage and healthy initial growth of the canopy. This early development necessitated more extensive and careful canopy management, but ultimately required minimal crop adjustments as the canopies supported the crop into full and balanced ripeness. The warm weather in September guaranteed an even ripening of the grapes used for this blend. Harvest for our 2022 Cask Cabernet Sauvignon took place between the 7th and the 29th of September.

Tasting Notes
Evocative and deeply expressive, this 2023 CASK Cabernet Sauvignon conjures the sensation of a quiet walk through a shaded forest. Aromas of wild forest berries and huckleberries are layered with notes of cedar and slate, offering a compelling balance of fruit and earth. Hints of Nocino, traditional Italian walnut liqueur, lend a savory, spiced richness, enhancing the wine’s complexity. The palate is grounded, with firm structure and lingering minerality that mirrors the scent of wet stone and fallen leaves. Elegant yet untamed, this wine finishes with graceful persistence and a sense of place that is both wild and refined.
Vintage Notes
Winter and spring of 2023 brought a generous amount of rain. Soil moisture delayed bud break, helping to avoid frost. A cool, steady spring kept the vines happy and healthy. By June, conditions were just right for a strong fruit set. Summer warmed up nicely carrying the fruit into a picture-perfect September—ideal for slow, even ripening. The result: red wines with energy, freshness, and beautiful balance. The Cask Cabernet came in right on cue—picked at peak ripeness for bold aromas and silky texture. Harvest kicked off October 6th and wrapped up two weeks later on October 20th.
