Ranch 32 Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

Our Cabernet Sauvignon showcases the potential of this variety when grown in the southern, more protected parts of Monterey County. It opens with aromas of blackberries, plum and currants with traces of mocha and violet. On the palate, it is deep, lush and fruity with balanced acidity and perfectly integrated tannins. Powerful yet supple, the complex layers develop into a long, smoky oak finish. This Cabernet pairs well with grilled steak, barbecued lamb and savory stews.

Our estate fruit was picked at optimum ripeness during the night and brought to the winery in the very early morning hours. Upon arrival at the winery, select lots of grapes were carefully sorted, destemmed, crushed, and fermented dry in open-top containers. The firm cap of skins and seeds was gently punched down several times a day. After a 10-day fermentation in stainless steel tanks, the wine was racked clean for aging with French and American oak for 12 months.

Aged in barrels for 12 months. 25% French Oak, 10% American Oak, 35% New Oak
