Layered aromas of potpourri and perfume awaken the senses on this 2019 vintage of Quarry Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon. This wine possesses an alluring texture, with an entry that is almost sweet with flavors of vanilla, spice, and toffee that cascade across the tongue. Supported by an herbal spiciness and notes of wet stone, this wine possesses a finish that is both savory and melting.

The 25-acre Quarry Vineyard climbs the slopes above the Silverado Trail on the east side of Rutherford. The name comes from the old quarry that was the source of a white rock used in the ghost winery that still stands beside the vineyard. Three distinct hillside blocks, each experiencing its own unique soil and exposure, are harvested from this vineyard. The white, rocky loam soils are well drained, and the vines are of moderate vigor. Cluster and berry size varies from block to block, but all are small to moderate. This vineyard has full exposure to the afternoon sun.
