Tasting notes
The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Christopher's Vineyard was matured in 79% new oak for 20 months. Its aromas uncoil slowly from blueberry and blackcurrant to finer nuances of bitter chocolate, roasted coffee, cigars, thyme and violets. The full-bodied palate is surprisingly youthful and fresh with concentrated, nuanced fruit, gently softening tannins and a long, mineral-driven finish. 502 cases were made.

From this high elevation vineyard at 2400 feet above sea level, the 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Christopher's Vineyard pours a deep inky red. A robust and ripe profile with layers of fresh leather, graphite minerals, forest floor, and cassis emerge from the glass. This full-bodied and plush red is velvety in texture, with ripe tannins, savory herbs, black cherry, and a good spine of acidity to keep the wine propelling forward for ages. This library release is going to be something to get excited out and snap up next year when it’s re-released. 400 cases will be released on the market in 2024.
The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Christopher's offers good up-front appeal and sweetness in its fruit. Dark, unctuous and expressive. Like all of these wines the Christopher's is lacking in structure and concentration.
