This wine is made from old‑vine Cabernet Sauvignon (sourced from ~60‑year‑old Brigantino Vineyard plus ~45‑year‑old Wheeler Ranch in San Benito County) with a small addition of 5 % Petite Verdot to enhance structure.
On the nose it offers dark black plum, dusty cocoa, leather and graphite, while the palate reveals blackberry and black cherry fruit, firm yet polished tannins, vibrant acidity and a chalky, peppercorn‑tinged finish.
