This Cabernet Sauvignon is a brilliant purple-red in color with aromas reminiscent of Baker’s chocolate, rhubarb pie, boysenberry and pipe tobacco. Its texture is medium weight, polished agate and bright with only a slight tug of firmness. It has flavors of Santa Rosa plum, fresh olive oil, graham cracker, cassis, vanilla extract and white pepper.  
 
The grapes for this wine are grown at Hanna’s Red Ranch in Alexander Valley, where Hoot Owl Creek divides the property. Below Hoot Owl Creek this bench land ranch is planted on Clough Series gravelly loam soil. Above Hoot Owl it is planted on Laughlin Series sandy loam. The vineyard is planted to 45 acres of Cabernet Sauvignon and 24 acres of Merlot.
