2022 Cabernet Sauvignon

2022 Cabernet Sauvignon

We’ve begun our second decade of exploring this remarkable region by adding a new lens through which to view it. Cabernet Sauvignon - regal and refined - shares anew what we’ve always known: Santa Barbara is singular in its balance of power and elegance.


Perhaps California’s most recognized grape variety, Cabernet Sauvignon wasn’t added to our collection on a whim. After a decade’s lessons in the vineyards of Santa Ynez, we knew that Cabernet Sauvignon was essential to telling the full story of our home. When approached considerately in both the vineyard and the cellar, Cabernet is uniquely poised to speak of the patient development of power and subtlety afforded to us by the region’s union of ocean wind and unbridled sunlight.

In the Vineyards

Our first vintage of Cabernet Sauvignon is exclusively sourced from a single stony, serpentine block of the Santa Ynez Vineyard, tucked into the easternmost reaches of the Happy Canyon AVA. This vineyard rests on a conservation easement that will protect the natural beauty and viticultural legacy of this region for generations to come.

We destemmed the fruit and fermented it naturally in open-top stainless tanks over the course of two-and-a-half weeks—with a focus on preserving freshness and gentle palate presence along the way. We then pressed the wine to old french barriques, where the wine rested until the following harvest.
