Reserved yet serious, with a nicely melded core of smoldering spice, sweet tobacco and steeped blackberry and plum fruit, backed by a light anise thread on the focused finish. Shows range and character. Best from 2021 through 2031. 580 cases made.

The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Bartolucci Vineyard is deep garnet-purple colored with bright red and black currants, black cherries and menthol with hints of chocolate and wood smoke. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is soft and fruity with some spiciness on the finish.
