2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Capstone, Estate
Made with Biodynamic® grown grapes. 100% Cabernet Sauvignon
Crafted from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes grown in the most coveted block at the very top of our vineyard, this wine captures the essence of our terroir. We used minimal new oak during aging to allow the purity of the high-elevation fruit to shine. The result is a vibrant, elegant Cabernet with a fragrant nose of dark cherries and cassis. On the palate, a lush medley of black plum and spice is framed by a subtle, savory hint of tobacco. Its exceptional freshness and long, graceful finish make it a true reflection of our biodynamic vineyard. Pair with Adobo-Spiced Spatchcock Roasted Chicken, Grilled Rack of Lamb, or Wild Mushroom and Truffle oil Pizza. Aged 18 months in French Oak, 10% new. Drink now to 2039.

Narrow Gate Vineyards 2019 Capstone Cabernet Sauvignon (El Dorado)
This bottling is more classic California in flavor profile. At the same time, the color is deeply hued, the nose screams dark dried plums, Black currant, allspice, and Pink peppercorns, and the palate is a high energy, supple tannins, mineral, sweet mocha, youthful red plum, lingonberry, and a juicy, dry finish. Aerate and Enjoy
