Description

Somnium, Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley 2012


Highlights:

Our estate vineyard did not begin to bear fruit until 2013, so for our 2012 vintage, we sourced fruit from the storied Stagecoach Vineyard on Atlas Peak.


Conveniently, our row at Stagecoach was right next to our winemaker's, and we benefited from his watchful eye and experience with the site.


Crushed blackberry aromas meld with cola, caramel and petrichor on the nose. The palate expands into a densely fruited mouthful of boysenberries and dried blueberries, lifted by wild cherry energy. Fresh and medium-bodied, the wine delivers an extended milk-chocolate finish, layered with mixed berries and sweet spice.


Wine Facts:

• This is a single vineyard wine

• Wine is unfiltered
