2020
St. Helena "Ink House"

Cabernet Sauvignon
SKU: TVCSS203

Our powerful boldest premium reds, dark, age-worthy wines of substance. Regardless of their grape, these heavyweights are barrel-aged and quite concentrated in flavor.

FOOD PAIRING: These big reds perform best with rich, high-protein foods such as AGED CHEESES & RED MEATS and work brilliantly with RICHER, BOLDER SAUCES too.

Tasting Notes
Aroma: 

Fresh aromas of blackcurrants, blackberry, boysenberry and baking spice greet the nose. 

Palate: 

Intense and luscious flavors of raspberry, plum and chocolate are accented by notes of wood and tobacco. Beautifully textured, the finish is elegant and smooth.

Winemaking
Vintage Notes: 

2020 kicked of with ideal growing conditions. Mild temperatures led to evenly developed clusters and an early budbreak was followed by a warm to hot summer. Low winter rains resulted in smaller berries with concentrated flavors. Harvest began in early August with normal yields and exceptional fruit quality.
