No Fine Print, Cabernet Sauvignon 2023 750ml (14.0% ABV)

This Cabernet Sauvignon is crafted using grapes from select vineyards throughout Lodi. Cabernet from each sub-appellation adds a unique character to the final blend: Clements Hill adds tannin and structure; Alta Mesa adds a layer of jammy, ripe black fruit, and Sloughhouse adds hints of spice and the bulk from Mokelumne River contributes nuances of herbs. Nearly all of the vineyards are California certified sustainable.

The vintage was a long cool vintage by modern standards thanks to almost no heat spikes that have become more common. The long and consistent growing season allowed sugars to mature slowly while also keeping acidity in the grapes. The NFP 2023 Cabernet is no exception, exhibiting a bright red color and lots of fresh red fruit character typical of the vintage.

The 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon is our most classic vintage to date, flashing a bold fruit profile of cassis and blackberry with a long, smooth finish driven by a touch of spice and oak. Cabernet from each sub-appellation adds complexity and character to the final blend with a small touch of Merlot rounding out the midpalate. Robust without being jammy, this is the kind of Cab that deserves to be shared.
