Pyramid Scheme Cabernet Sauvignon California 2021

"One of nature’s greatest unsolved mysteries meets one of our most beloved wines. Seeking to achieve the perfect, zero-deficit flavor profile, we harvest clusters at the point of perfect ripeness & combine them at the press before a slow, meticulous fermentation. Allowed to rest in perfect darkness, the unfolding of an elemental prowess takes shape. A smoldering nose of black pepper & currant melds seamlessly into a lush, robust palate of velvety violet, tobacco leaf, cassis & subtle licorice. Balanced acidity & integrated tannins linger at the tongue for what seems an endless night." —winemaker

"The 2021 is fresh with dark cherry, black raspberry, blackberry, bell pepper, and cedar. The palate is lively with mouth-watering acidity from the layered dark fruit, and firm tannins add a long textured finish." —winemaker

"Inviting warm aromas featuring notes of violets, pomegranate, herbes de Provence, cedar, and baker’s chocolate. A soft mouthfeel with supple and concentrated flavors of plum, cherry cola and blackberry pie filling, all supported by melting, dusty tannins." —winemaker

"This wine is bursting with notes of cherry and raspberry which are accentuated by a hint of almond and creme fraiche. The elegant tannin structure provided by the fruit from Horse Heaven Hills gives balance to the wine. The fruit-forward palate is followed with a long, smooth finish." —winemaker

"Rich and lush, Butter Cab is made from perfectly-ripe cabernet grapes in the tradition of great Californian winemaking. This smooth, easy-to-love red wine brims with juicy, dark-red fruits. Aging in our unique oak blend adds a delicious touch of vanilla to its lovely, lingering finish." —winemaker

"The wine is led with dark chocolate, black cherry, melted licorice, alder, forest floor, cassis, and cigar box. On the palatte it’s chewy and dark, but not heavy and soupy. It has a lot of energy to it; a really vibrant, raw, honest Cabernet." —winemaker

"Intense aromas of black cherry, violet, black peppercorn and smoky charred notes, complemented by concentrated flavors of blackberry jam, black currant and spicy clove." —winemaker

"Dark garnet red in color, the 2021 Grounded Cabernet Sauvignon leads with warm aromas of ripe black cherry, espresso, vanilla, and clove. The well-structured palate displays a round, luxurious mouthfeel and notes of cedar, forest floor, clove, and anise that extend through the generous finish." —winemaker

"Our wine, made from premium vineyards in the Paso Robles AVA, captures the spirit of 1850’s California. It’s a rebellious red, fermented in stainless steel and oak, with notes of dark fruit, brown spice, and a dusting of toasted tobacco that offers you a distinct taste of Paso Robles." —winemaker

"Our Mark West Cabernet Sauvignon brims with layers of blueberry and blackberry preserves with hints of spice. Underlying note of toasted vanilla and caramel give the wine an elegance. The finish is rich and smooth with a lingering touch of dark plum." —winemaker
