The Debate – Cabernet Sauvignon Sacrashe 2018

Sacrashe Vineyard is perched just above Auberge du Soleil in the Rutherford hillside. The chalky and ashy soils of Sacrashe cannot be confused with any other property and lend a freshness and minerality to our wines. The Sacrashe Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon has a dark black hue with touches of scarlet and lipstick on the rim. The nose has a beautiful balance between fruit, spices and herbs with touches of pepper, crushed red pepper flakes and rosemary, lingering on dark cherry preserve and fern. The palate has a silky entrance evolving on a fresh mid-palate with granular tannins, touches of mulberry, persimmon and plum, lingering on gingerbread and lilac. 100% Barrel Fermented, 20 days on skins. Aged 22 months, 80% new French oak.
