Butter Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

"This Cabernet Sauvignon is pure Paso Robles, full of polished aromas of blueberry, cherry and vanilla, leading to flavors of dark red fruits, black currants and hints of pepper, mocha and caramelized oak. Rich yet smooth, this wine is very approachable now, and will continue to mature for years to come." —winemaker

"Cabernet Sauvignon elixir. Blackberry, currant, pencil lead, cedar. Layered and deep, resting in the glass, inviting you to sip and sip. Rich, complex, and just plain delicious – the best vintage to date." —winemaker

"Twenty Bench Cabernet Sauvignon has a ripe black cherry core, twining with blackberry syrup, a subtle minerality, with the smokiness of charred French oak on the nose. The mouth is creamy and dense, with layered of juicy berries, the darkest of dark chocolates, rich espresso and black pepper. The wine is well-balanced and drinking well in its youth." —winemaker

"Our 2021 Sonoma County Cabernet Sauvignon is an elegant expression of Dry Creek and Alexander Valley. The lively nose boasts aromas of blackberry, plum, and black cherry with hints of vanilla. Layers of blackberry jam, black cherry and toasted vanilla on the palate are complimented by soft notes of cedar. Beautifully balanced, this wine offers an acidic structure that holds up nicely to the abundant fruit." —winemaker

"Youthful aromas of fresh red cherries and strawberries with hints of nutmeg and cedar box. Flavors are bright and focused with red fruit compote, kirsch, and red plums on the forepalate, finishing with typical Cabernet richness and held in suspension with a solid core of acidity." —winemaker

"One of nature’s greatest unsolved mysteries meets one of our most beloved wines. Seeking to achieve the perfect, zero-deficit flavor profile, we harvest clusters at the point of perfect ripeness & combine them at the press before a slow, meticulous fermentation. Allowed to rest in perfect darkness, the unfolding of an elemental prowess takes shape. A smoldering nose of black pepper & currant melds seamlessly into a lush, robust palate of velvety violet, tobacco leaf, cassis & subtle licorice. Balanced acidity & integrated tannins linger at the tongue for what seems an endless night." —winemaker

"The 2021 is fresh with dark cherry, black raspberry, blackberry, bell pepper, and cedar. The palate is lively with mouth-watering acidity from the layered dark fruit, and firm tannins add a long textured finish." —winemaker

"Inviting warm aromas featuring notes of violets, pomegranate, herbes de Provence, cedar, and baker’s chocolate. A soft mouthfeel with supple and concentrated flavors of plum, cherry cola and blackberry pie filling, all supported by melting, dusty tannins." —winemaker

"Densely layered and quite substantial in the mouth, this bottling delivers generous blackberry and black currant fruit, wrapped around a vibrant core of acidity which keeps the wine pert and lively on the palate." —winemaker

"A beautiful, classic cool-climate, mountain-grown 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. Aromas of lead pencil, and spiced red fruits. Flavors of currant, blackberry, black pepper with a chalky texture. Finishes with notes of white pepper and cranberry with well-defined tannins." —winemaker
