Winemaker Notes

My dad, Christopher Cobden Davis (“the professor”), loves a good Cab, so we started producing Cabernet Sauvignon in 2015 (and threw him on the label. 2015 was a hot growing season and had very small berries and yields. Despite that, this wine remained refined with a great acidity and bright fruits combined with subtle herbal notes. The mouthfeel is rich and silky with a lingering finish of fruit and spices. This wine will age beautifully for many years to come but could be difficult due to the small production size.
