Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
Quite youthful and shy on the nose, this wine needs a light swirl in the glass or even a decanting to reveal its incredible depth and detail. Deep, dark ripe plum, cassis, mineral and a dusting of shaved vanilla bean pod, sassafras, earthen char, and dried underbrush waft from the glass. A beautiful freshness gives lift to the mid-palate while the lingering sweet dark fruit provides depth. Firm but graceful tannins linger on the palate. This Cabernet will age exquisitely for the next 10-plus years.
Winemaker Notes
Our 2022 Mauritson Sonoma County Cabernet is a remarkable example of the art of blending to capture both a sense of place and time. All five traditional Bordeaux grapes have roles in showcasing the incredible diversity of fruit that northern Sonoma County has to offer, with each vineyard and varietal adding a nuance and layer to the final stunning wine.
