2022 Super Senior Cabernet Sauvignon

This age-worthy wine earned its title of Super Senior from an extended maceration trail in our teaching winery, during which the wine was left in contact with the skins and sees long after fermentation completed. This process has been in practice since antiquity and is known to result in wines with more depth and structure by virtue of greater extraction time. With fruit donated from Gamache Vineyard in the White Bluff AVA, it had plenty of character to contribute straight from the vineyard site. High tannin and full body with notes of black cherry, cedar, and black currant make this a great food wine. Try pairing it with bacon-wrapped dates at dinner party or smoked brisket at a barbecue.
