Sea Pines Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2020

Sea Pines Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2020 is an exceptionally pure, expressive, and beautifully structured organic red wine that showcases the unique upland terroir of Mendocino County. Sourced from the high-altitude, steep slopes of the historic Cox Vineyard in Ukiah, where vines thrive at 1,800 feet above sea level in volcanic red soils, this wine opens with a fragrant and highly inviting bouquet of red currant, ripe forest strawberries, and tart cherry, elegantly accented by complex undertones of fresh violet petals, wood-grain spice, and a subtle hint of tobacco leaf. On the palate, it delivers a beautifully balanced, medium-bodied framework where a succulent core of juicy blackberry and crushed red berries is lifted by a refreshing vein of natural acidity. Matured for 18 months in used French oak barrels, its supple texture is seamlessly supported by light, fine-grained tannins that float across the mid-palate, leading to a long, clean, and remarkably smooth finish marked by delicate notes of toasted vanilla, savory earth, and a distinct mineral focus that makes it a highly approachable yet characterful expression of northern California Cabernet.

Food Pairing: Pairs beautifully with rosemary-infused roasted lamb chops, charcoal-grilled ribeye steak, slow-cooked beef stew, or rich wild mushroom risotto.
