2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Lone Tree, Alexander Valley
Tasting Note: 2021 Forefathers Cabernet Sauvignon shows intense purple color. The aroma is a complete expression of our unique terrior. Stony schist soils mean the fruit is black cherry and plum. The palate is deep and concentrated with flavors of black cherry, dark stone fruit and subtle earthiness. Spending 50 days on the skins brings stability, yet silky and fine round tannins. It shows the classic elegance for which this wine is known. Pair with BBQ meats or creamy, rich pasta dishes

2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Lone Tree, Alexander Valley
Tasting Note: This wine has ripe blackberry and black cherry fruit aromas, with pronounced French oak. Juicy red and black fruit show on the palate with blackberry, blueberry, cassis, and dark chocolate flavors. The finish is smooth and with supple tannins giving an expansive mouthfeel, ending with a pleasing toasty oak finish.
One singular vineyard site cannot produce stellar Cabernet Sauvignon, Sauvignon Blanc and Shiraz grapes simultanously. But these are the wines I love to make. The “Forefathers” concept is my salvation because we can farm these three distinct varieties from separate vineyards around the New World. ~ Nick Goldschmidt
