2023 Subliminal Cabernet Sauvignon

This is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon sourced from a tiny vineyard in the tiny town of Ballard (between Los Olivos and Santa Ynez). Hailing from the cold 2023 vintage, this is a fresh, classic Cabernet Sauvignon, with notes of dark fruit, mint, and fresh herbs. We bottled this earlier than previous vintages (9 months in barrel) to preserves this freshness, and are releasing it now so you can enjoy its vibrant, juicy loveliness. This reminds us of old ‘70s and ‘80s Napa Valley and Santa Ynez Valley, before wines were pushing into extreme ripeness. This is nonetheless a gregarious wine, perfect for braises and root vegetables, and one that we can’t wait to sip through the fall and winter months.
