Description
In the Mardi Gras Indian culture, the Big Chief is the leader of the tribe and our 2020 Big Chief Cabernet Sauvignon carries on the tradition from past vintages. The grapes were hand harvested in the early morning of September 26th from a small hillside vineyard in St Helena. The grapes were then hand-sorted and fermented in a small batch to ensure optimal quality. The wine has a deep crimson color with aromas of blackberry, currants, plum, chocolate, and graphite noted first followed by tobacco, baking spices, and vanilla; with a rich, bold mouthfeel and gripping tannins that coat the palate with long finish. This wine is fitting of the Big Chief moniker.
