Located on the southern end of the Rutherford Bench, Sycamore Vineyard’s proximity to
the Mayacamas Mountains provides the perfect climate for growing a rich, textured
Cabernet. The wine is intense in aromatic complexity, reminiscent of blackberry,
pomegranate syrup, black tea, and forest floor. The palate is rich and textured with flavors
of forest fruits, dark chocolate, bay leaf, and warm oak spices. The ‘Rutherford dust’ is
evident in the tannin structure, giving it textures that are bold but integrated, making it
lovely to drink now with the capability to age in the cellar for decades.

Sycamore Vineyard produces small berries reminiscent of mountain fruit berries, with
intense extract of color and flavor. The color is very dark early in the fermentation, with
flavors of black currant and blackberry with a forest floor complexity.
