Wafting brown spices and opulent dark fruit purity tantalize the nose, hinting at the sensory thrill to come. With each sip, signature Bing cherries, black cassis, and dusted red berries cascade across the palate, showcasing classic Calistoga fruit density accentuated by inimitable lift and verve. As the finish wanes to a lake of never-ending flavor, one is left with an indelible impression of this other-worldly vineyard site of lush rolling hills, nestled in the brisk, north-western foothills of Calistoga.

praise for 2020 amoenus vineyard cabernet sauvignon

“The 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon Amoenus Vineyard offers a more complex, perfumed style showing lots of blue fruits, candied violets, flowery incense, and dried herbs. Rich, full-bodied, and mouth-filling on the palate, it has ripe tannins and a great finish. It’s another high quality 2020 from this estate.”

“Rich blackberries, violets, chocolate and roasted herbs on the nose, following through to a full-bodied and slightly saline palate. Rich and dense, with firm tannins and a hint of dark-chocolate bitterness in the finish. Drink now.”
