Wine Profile

Ratings

Wine Enthusiast 94 "The nose of this wine is loaded with tons of caramel, coffee and currant aromas, evolving into crushed cherry, forest floor, bitter chocolate and black pepper before a warm and tannic finish. Give this a few years, then get busy with some braised beef short ribs. Cellar Selection."

Vineyard Notes

Tumbled through the ages by creeks and rivers, Positas is a gravelly Loam soil formed in alluvial material. Primarily located between 200 and 1,000 feet in elevation, Positas soils are found on stream terraces and side slopes, commonly referred to as benchland, home to some of the greatest Cabernet Sauvignon. These soils are nutrient rich and moderately deep, yet well-drained. Cabernet thrives in the environment provided by Positas soils, yielding fruit with thick skins, broad tannins and rich characteristics. With a pH ranging from 6.0 to 8.0, Positas soils are slightly acidic.

Winemaker Notes

Vivid scents of red fruits, sweet loam earth, flesh of black fig and baking spice define our 2021 Positas. An enticing, explosive sweet entry of juicy red fruits gives way to notes of espresso grounds, dried tobacco leaf, black fruits and savory undertones. The staying power of this Cabernet is demonstrated in its youthfulness and lingering finish. It will age gracefully for the next 10-15 years. Bottled unfined and unfiltered.
