2021 Occasus Cabernet Sauvignon

In Latin, the word “Occasus” refers to the setting sun. This Bordeaux blend comes from grapes grown on western-facing slopes of our mountain vineyards, where vines are exposed to warm, sun-filled afternoons. The result is a dark, brambly profile with dense, concentrated flavors. The palette is loaded with rich black fruits, dusted with cocoa powder and hints of spice. This weighty mid-palate gives way to a long, round finish and smooth tannins, complements of the Merlot. We aged the wine for 22 months in French oak barrels for beautiful structure and complexity.
