The 2014 vintage of 2040 is lush and elegant consisting of high-elevation, mountain fruit with aromas of violet, blueberry and black cherry. The palate is rich with sweet oak and a hint of spice with a velvety smooth, lingering finish and well-integrated tannins. Pairs with a grilled filet mignon, braised beef short ribs and sharp cheeses. Enjoy this wine now or cellar for enjoyment for years to come. Reserved mostly for their mailing list, there is a minute quantity of this wine that is released from the winery. It is a sad truth that most California Cabernet Sauvignon is consumed within the first 5 years after harvest. The fully mature 2014 is drinking beautifully and is a lovely example of what several years in proper cellar conditions will dramatically improve a California Cabernet Sauvignon.
