An exceptional example of the vintage wines produced here is their 2010 Epitome Cabernet. Drawn to the fruit bestowed by block three of their Cornerstone Vineyard, set along the northeastern border of the renowned Stags Leap District, this intense, opaque ruby wine is unique in character and rare in number. “Teeming with aromas of red raspberry, fresh blackberry and cassis woven beneath elegant layers of fine baker’s cocoa, spun sugar and subtle ground clove” the wine has a smooth opening that has a lasting finish. Epitome is a little taste of heaven in your mouth.
