Pedroncelli2022 Block 10 Cabernet Sauvignon
100% Cabernet Sauvignon
This single vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is planted on the Home Ranch Vineyard. The vines are 13 years old and planted to Clone 337 which was chosen for its ability to produce exceptional Cabernet Sauvignon and matched to this place. Once matured, the vineyard caught winemaker Montse Reece’s eye for its unique appeal and striking characteristics.
The vintage of 2022 was influenced by low amounts of rain and was followed by a warm growing season which sped up maturity as well as concentrated flavors and color. The grapes from this single vineyard were harvested in mid-September preserving the varietal flavors, aromatics, and natural acidity.
The inaugural release of this estate-grown Cabernet Sauvignon features aromas of mocha, dark ripe berries, and a touch of dried green herbs. The deep flavors of blackberry, cherry, mocha and hazelnut are highlighted by great structure. The finish is soft with rounded tannins. While ready to enjoy upon release this wine has the aging potential of another 10 years.
