2016 Ganymede Cabernet Sauvignon

“Ganymede was the loveliest born of the race of mortals, and therefore the gods caught him away to themselves, to be Zeus’ wine-pourer, for the sake of his beauty, so he might be among the immortals.” It is no wonder we named one of our most stunning single vineyards after this mythical mortal who also graces the architecture of our original winery. The performance of the 2016 vintage of this vineyard brings to mind words such as beautiful, indelible and immortal, which could also be used to describe the figure it was named after. A near-perfect growing season helped our winemaking team deliver a wine of profound density, grace and power. Ganymede is indeed our connection to that which is immortal.

The 2016 vintage started off with an average rainfall winter which was a bit of a relief for us after three very dry years. Soil profiles remained filled into late in the season with many blocks not being irrigated until late August or even early September. Winter and Spring temperatures were warm, so this gave us early bud break and veraison. What ensued was a mild September and a fairly well paced Cabernet harvest. No heat spikes allowed us to pick exactly when we needed to, never feeling rushed.
Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
This beauty is multi-layered with notes of black currant, black tea, clove, violets, and mocha. On the palate this wine is fruit forward, well-structured and full-bodied, yet silky and smooth in the finish.
