The Character
Overall blueberry, creme de cassis, and wild blackberry
Aromas cocoa, candied orange, and violets
Tasting Notes Intricate and deep, the 2021 Estate Cabernet beckons with heady aromas of cocoa, candied orange, and violets. This wine swells and glimmers with dark, luxe fruit. An assemblage of blueberry, creme de cassis, and wild blackberry is freckled with savory notes of fennel seed, verbena, and coffee beans. Long, voluminous tannin offers strength and longevity while the fruit maintains our terroirʼs breezy, carefree quality, echoing a warm summer day on the mountain.
The Story
In 1998, Henry and Vanessa Cornell purchased a plot of rugged, untamed ground on a former stagecoach route where vines had been tended by early settlers. With respect for the land foremost in their minds, they returned the rolling hillsides to vineyards.
Two hundred wild acres with sweeping views contain twenty acres of obsessively farmed vineyard blocks, each with its own distinctive imprint. Under the guidance of winemakers Francoise Peschon and Elizabeth Tangney, Cornell Vineyards strives to make a Cabernet Sauvignon that is faithful to the diversity of this impressive land.
