Description

From High-Low to Six-Card Stud, when it’s dealer’s choice, the dealer calls the game. Our winemaker calls this one, sourcing Cabernet Sauvignon grapes from Terra a Lago Vineyard in the southern reaches of Alexander Valley in Sonoma County. The wine’s deep blackberry character, with appealing hints of thyme, leads into black cherry and toasty vanilla—all supported by supple, balanced tannins. From date night to poker night, this wine’s a Goode bet.

Winemaker's Notes

Like playing poker with friends, the dealer chooses which game to share. In my case, the dealer chooses which wine to share with friends. For the 2009 vintage I chose the Terra a Lago vineyard and the Adam’s Knoll vineyard in the Alexander Valley. I love the play of blackberry and thyme aromas which mix with the black cherry and toasty vanilla notes. This one is full of dense, rich tannins and offers a lasting finish you won’t soon forget.
