Critical Acclaim
“The 2023 ‘Collage’ is all Cabernet Sauvignon coming from the Alexander Valley. The knockout bouquet is downright intoxicating. Gorgeous black florals combine with cassis, mocha, oud, tar and tobacco leaf that all take shape in the glass. The palate is seamless, elegant and powerful as this shows incredible push/pull between power, opulence and finesse. A total stunner, with a brilliant tension and graphite edge, this is best enjoyed now and over the next twenty years to come. Drink 2026-2046.”
100 points – Owen Bargreen
“Sonoma Country’s best-kept-secret winery is setting records for a reason and its latest vintage proves it.” – Esquire
APPELLATION
Alexander Valley
VARIETAL
Cabernet Sauvignon
BLEND
Cabernet Sauvignon dominant but contains a small expression of all Bordeaux varietals: Malbec, Merlot, Petit Verdot, and Cabernet Franc.
AGING
An intentional layer to this wine is achieved by aging in concrete vessels after other lots have reached their optimal potential in barrel.
24 Months in barrel
6 Months in concrete
80% new French oak
20% neutral oak
SOIL TYPE
A complex interplay of soils—melding iron-rich and limestone-rich compositions—lends a Bordeaux-style expression to the wine. This fusion of mineral-rich terroirs enhances both freshness and minerality, supporting an elegant fruit profile and shaping the wine into a focused, layered symphony.
