Part of the Cabernet program since the birth of Dutcher Crossing, the renowned Taylor Vineyard, just over the hill from the estate, is a mix of ridge and hillside plantings. The higher elevation fruit is stressed, giving compact berries with intense flavors and aromatics. Aged in 100% French oak barrels, this Cabernet Sauvignon is blended with 3% Syrah and 5% Merlot, which enhances the brightness, brings out rich berry flavors and showcases a rich elegant body with complex character. This wine is stunning and balanced, a satisfying and pleasurable mouthful, with aging potential.
