Home Ranch Vineyard, Sonoma Valley
This wine was made from Craig and Ellen's Cabernet Sauvignon vineyard adjacent to their home in Sonoma. The 2010 vintage was so cool during the summer months that Craig made an early decision to crop back the vines to one cluster per shoot. This proved to be the right decision, as it allowed the vines to focus their limited energy on ripening the remaining clusters. The grapes were picked in late October at optimal ripeness. The resulting Home Ranch Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is opulent, concentrated and expressive. This vineyard was planted by Craig in 2002 and is located at the southwestern edge of Sonoma Valley.

This is a showy style of Cabernet Sauvignon, with aromas of blueberry and cocoa popping out of the glass to greet your nose. It has a pleasant sweet entry with seductive silky tannins and flavors of blue fruit, licorice and chocolate. The finish keeps your lips smacking for another taste. This wine is also still a great value at $48!
