Tasting notes
Coming from a site in the Happy Canyon region, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Vogelzang Vineyard is a classic, more old-school style of Cabernet Sauvignon that prizes purity, precision, and elegance above outright power. Notes of cassis, cedar pencil, underbrush, and tobacco all give way to a ripe, seamless, balanced effort that has polished tannins, no hard edges, and a great finish. It's another wine here that can be drunk today with pleasure or cellared for 10-15 years (or more).

The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Vogelzang Vineyard is a big, strapping wine. Dark cherry, plum, mocha, licorice, bay leaf, leather and cedar infuse the 2016 with that very distinctive earthy/savory quality that is so typical of Happy Canyon Cabernets.
The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Vogelzang Vineyard has a medium to deep ruby color and opens to notes of cedar and nutmeg with blackcurrant, warm black cherries and berries plus accents of chocolate, coffee bean and blackcurrant bud. Medium to full-bodied, it's got tons of spicy fruits in the mouth with very firm tannins and good acidity, with a very long, chocolaty finish.
