Brion Wise Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville Ranch Vineyard 2015

People who know Oakville Ranch talk a lot about the soils—bright orange soils with enormous boulders called core stones. They are part of a major landslide that occurred 200,000 years ago. The wines are big. They’re powerful and structured, yet there’s also a lushness and a suppleness associated with the soils created through cover crop and organic practices.

Tasting Notes:

Aromatic; candied raspberries, blackberries, stradberry cobbler, sweet tea box, black cardamom; silky tannins
