ARCHITECT CABERNET SAUVIGNON 21

Michael Broadbent trained as an architect before he became a winemaker in England in the 1960s. He knew the importance of structure, balance and beauty well before becoming a Master of Wine. His large legacy of art, whether it be architectural, portraiture, landscapes or technical drawings, gives a clear insight into his attention to detail. This wine is a tribute to the legacy of our favorite Renaissance man – Michael Broadbent, artist, author, musician, auctioneer and architect.

Tasting Notes:
Sourced from two vineyards in Alexander Valley with vines of an average age between 10 and 15 years old. Vines are planted in a major mixture of soil mostly rocky and mix of loam. The climate is Mediterranean warm with harvest beginning in late September also experiencing a drought. After grapes are picked they are placed in a cold soak for 4 days followed by 7 day fermentation with cultured yeast in stainless steel tanks. Wine is transferred to oak barrels (75% French Oak and 25% American Oak) for aging before bottling at end of November 2022.
