2018 SBC Cabernet Sauvignon
In Stock
Softer and more delecate than our Paso and Napa counterparts, our Cabernet Sauvignon does not have the tannin or alcohol found in other regions. What this means for our wine is that we can achieve more complex flavors in our Cabernet without overpowering it with high alcohol, heavy new oak, and overly-intense tannins.

Wine Profile
Vineyard Notes
84% Estelle Vineyard Fruit - Directly adjacent to the Sanger Estate, the Estelle Vineyard has exceptional heat and southern-facing slopes, offering exposure to more direct sunlight
12% Sanger Estate Fruit
4% La Presa Vineyard Fruit - La Presa is home to some of the oldest surviving vines in the entire Santa Ynez region. Originally planted in the beginning of the 1970's these vines were planted directly into the ground without the use of graphing, making them exceptionally susceptible to disease and pests. The age of these vines is a testament to the time and care put into to managing this vineyard through the decades
