2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Moon Mountain District

Wine Notes Print tech sheet

Our Moon Mountain District Cabernet Sauvignon has cultivated a devoted following for good reason—it perfectly illustrates this secluded appellation's remarkable potential for wines of exceptional intensity and character. Grown on the steep, rugged volcanic hillsides that have nurtured extraordinary Cabernet since the 1880s, this wine showcases the bold, concentrated flavors that define Mountain Cabernet at its finest. Yet true to the Pangloss philosophy, balance remains paramount. The vineyard's proximity to cooling influences maintains crucial acidity, creating that perfect harmony between power and elegance that keeps this wine structured and composed. With aging potential beyond a decade, this wine stands as a definitive reference point for what makes this distinctive appellation so celebrated.
