Tasting Note
Full-bodied, smooth California Cabernet with plum, blackberry, mocha and toasted oak; black cherry and cassis framed by subtle vanilla and cocoa. Ripe fruit, round tannins and a long, silky finish.

Production Method
Sourced from multiple California vineyards; mostly whole-cluster to stainless-steel fermentation with gentle extraction. Selected lots racked to oak and aged about 4–5 months to balance fruit and oak.

Vineyard Info
Founded in 1974 by Frank Woods in Alexander Valley. A large-scale California brand sourcing growers statewide; later owned by Constellation and the brand assets were sold (portfolio acquisitions include Gallo).
