A perfect 50/50 blend of head-trained fruit, this very elegant blend gives us a window into the most delicate and nuanced aromatics and flavors we have seen from our vineyard. A nose of purple flowers, soft red-currant, black raspberry, and subtle spice. The palate is generous, yet incredibly soft and noble.
Exclusively off the trellised blocks, the 2014 Cliff Hanger is nothing short of being a classic wine from our estate. Crème de cassis, toasted spice, dried herbs, new saddle leather and graphite all emerge in a whirlwind of savory goodness. Amazing concentration and a Nobel tannin structure have always been the markers for this wine. It's. easy to see why this wine was so profoundly popular. Fire up the grill and season up a thick ribeye steak!
An absolute blockbuster of a vintage for this offering that is exclusively harvested from the trellised blocks in our vineyard.The 2018 Cliff Hanger Cabernet Sauvignon delivers an impressive and classically styled wine layered with ample currants, tobacco, black olive, and earthy notes. This is all nicely balanced with a medium-bodied yet nicely concentrated and long experience on the palate. In Santa Barbara we often find ourselves grilling over an open flame and it's no surprise this wine always seems to find its way to the table.
Our first expression of Cabernet released. Deep black cherry, plum and cassis have beautifully integrated into a lush and rich rendition of Cabernet. Warm baking spices and and edge of graphite bring a bit more serious spirit to the core structure of this wine. It is in a fantastic window and calls for prime cuts of beef or concentrated red sauced pasta dishes.
