Scribe 2019 Atlas West Cabernet Sauvignon

This continues the set of terrific mountain Cabernet coming from Scribe. The nose shows a hit of currant, deep cherry, sweet oak, and a light earth note. The palate is present with a great grip of tannins and a flavor set of sweet oak, currant, ripe cherries and light pepper spice. D&M Tasting Notes

This vineyard is on a west-facing slope, above the fog line, on the northern ridge of the Atlas Peak AVA, we farm Cabernet Sauvignon clones 412, 4, 8 and 337C planted mostly to roostocks 3309C and 1103P. The soils here, Hambright and Guenoc soils are dominated by red volcanic material with lots of flat rock, providing exceptional drainage to the hillside vineyard. * CEDAR * BLACKBERRY * THYME * Winery Notes
