2007 Block Collection Cabernet Sauvignon, Kuimelis Vineyard
The vibrant purple color of the wine is the first indication of its hillside origins and hints at the rich, layered flavors to come. Aromas of cigar box, pan forte, and a whiff of morel mushroom create further interest on the nose.

Perched on a steeply terraced slope at the Northern end of Alexander Valley, 1100 feet above sea level, Kuimelis Vineyard is ideally suited to Cabernet Sauvignon. Drastic diurnal temperature swings and Northern exposures allow for extended hang time, while rocky, volcanic soil and slopes force vines to reach deep for nutrients and water. Together, these influences limit yields and concentrate flavors in small, intense berries. Less than thirty percent of the grapes from the Kuimelis Vineyard were selected for this limited production wine.
