2022 Volcanic Ridge Cabernet Sauvignon
Tasting Notes:
The 2022 Volcanic Ridge Cabernet Sauvignon has aromas of dark plum, cinnamon, slate, and nuances of espresso. The palate is rich and powerful, with flavors of blueberry and raspberry compote. The midpalate segues into a deep, dark finish with layers of graphite, earth, and minerality from the compressed volcanic rock soils of this unique estate.

Pair with grilled and roasted meats, Korean BBQ, and hearty stews.
