Wine Profile
Vineyard Notes
Tumbled through the ages by creeks and rivers, Positas is a gravelly Loam soil formed in alluvial material. Primarily located between 200 and 1,000 feet in elevation, Positas soils are found on stream terraces and side slopes, commonly referred to as benchland, home to some of the greatest Cabernet Sauvignon.
These soils are nutrient rich and moderately deep, yet well-drained. Cabernet thrives in the environment provided by Positas soils, yielding fruit with thick skins, broad tannins and rich characteristics. With a pH ranging from 6.0 to 8.0, Positas soils are slightly acidic.
Winemaker Notes
Enticing aromas of ripe red fruits, candied blue notes, sweet loam earth, dried black fig and baking spice define our 2022 Positas. An explosive sweet entry of juicy dark fruit gives way to notes of espresso grounds, dried tobacco leaf and savory undertones. The staying power of this Cabernet is demonstrated in its youthfulness and lingering finish. Bottled unfined and unfiltered, it will age gracefully for the next 10-15 years
