The oldest vineyard on the Estate, this luxurious wine never ceases to amaze every year. Blue/black fruits, smoke and violets with the ever-apparent level of sucrosity that has become a touchstone for this vineyard.
The Heirloom Vineyard is a steep-sloping two acre parcel, wedged in between an arroyo and a knoll of Spanish oaks.
Any vegetable or meat in the grill. Delicious with Chocolate as well.
"The cream of the lineup in 2016 is the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Heirloom Vineyard, which has the most purity, balance, and length of the three releases. Coming from older vines and a terraced vineyard in Dry Creek, its deep purple color is followed by a rock star bouquet of blackberries, black cherries, graphite, chocolate, and mineral aromas and flavors. It's deep, full-bodied, straight-up seamless, and perfectly balanced on the palate, and reminds me of a great Saint-Emilion with its dark, chocolaty fruit and obvious minerality. It's a beautiful wine that will keep for over two decades."
