Obsidian Half Mile 2021

Cabernet Sauvignon from Red Hills, Lake County, North Coast, California

Winemaker Notes

The “Half Mile” Cabernet Sauvignon expresses the ripeness and intensity of the highest elevation blocks. Winemaker Alex Beloz selects individual barrels of cabernet to blend with Petit Verdot and Petite Sirah to craft a classic mountain style that is structured and plush. The fermentation is completed in 8-10 days and wines are pressed immediately to avoid over extraction of the skins.

“Half Mile” is a winemaker blend of select barrels to showcase the power and richness of volcanic mountain fruit. The 2021 represents the top 40 barrels selected. Cabernet Sauvignon is the core, with Petit Verdot giving the structure and floral signature that distinguishes this wine. Beautifully integrated oak creates harmony and refinement.

Food Pairing 

Pairs well with lamb rump, goat cheese ravioli and confit lemon.
