2024 Alondra Cabernet Sauvignon – Mendocino
$40.00
Alondra Mendocino Cabernet Sauvignon is sourced from one block in the heart of Mendocino County. Farmed organically, Located in the rugged terrain of Northern California, near the banks of the Upper Russian River and the foothills of the Mayacamas. This vineyard is planted with three clonal selections specifically selected for this site. In early July 2024, the region experienced a record-breaking heat spike that transitioned to a long and moderately cool growing season. The Cabernet was picked in mid-October under ideal conditions. Gently crushed into a fermenter and left to ferment at its own pace with native yeasts. After primary fermentation we racked into 30% new Taransaud barrels for eight months. We executed one rack and returned and then bottled all free run juice unfined and unfiltered.
Perfumed nose of black cherry, blueberry and cassis with those classic cabernet characteristics of tobacco leaf and mint. The fruit-inspired palate features cassis and cherry fruit front and center, while that defining cabernet structure deftly folded into the fruit. Ripeness and elegance are the hallmarks of Alondra Mendocino Cabernet Sauvignon, which can be enjoyed now or cellared for the next decade.
