2021 Loam

The 2021 Loam Cabernet Sauvignon is our proprietary blend of grapes sourced from vineyards planted in Positas, Suther, and Clough soils. It is composed of the best vineyards, grown in the best soil, from the best appellations. Perfectly structured, Loam balances the brightness and focused tannins of hillside fruit with the dense, rich characteristics of fruit grown in the ancient riverbed and valley floor soils. Despite the drier growing season, the ripening period that falls between mid-August to late October was nearly flawless. Long warm Fall days meant picking decisions could be scheduled in the absence of haste. Grapes patiently hung on the vines, waiting to be harvested at their ultimate balance of flavor, freshness, and intensity. Our 2021 Loam exudes aromas of sweet red cherry, shavings of milk chocolate, dried coastal underbrush, and intricately woven dried herbs. Great freshness with silky tannins make this energetic Cabernet Sauvignon quite approachable for such a young wine. It still, however, carries the hallmark length and finesse one would expect from our single soil series Cabernets. This beautiful Cabernet Sauvignon will age gracefully for 10+ years. Bottled unfined and unfiltered.
