Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
The Pickett Road Block Cabernet Sauvignon captures the essence of its
rocky vineyard soils with a deep, earthy minerality and a firm, structured texture. Rich flavors of
black cherries and blackberries unfold alongside hints of leather, tobacco, and cassis, with a
subtle touch of sage and vanilla adding complexity. This wine has a layered profile, where the
mineral undertones enhance the depth of the fruit. It’s enjoyable now for those who love bold
flavors, but it also has the structure to age beautifully over the next 8-12 years
Vineyard Notes
Planted in 2000 to Clone 4, the vines run North to South and are trained in the VSP (Vertical Shoot Position) method. The inspiration to this wine’s namesake, this location also happens to be where some of the very best blocks in this Vineyard are located due to the deep rocky soils.
