TASTING NOTES
The Hayne Vineyard is situated in St. Helena at the base of the Mayacamas Mountains and is well known for its single vineyard wines from the site. The vines are small to moderate in size due to the gravelly, loam soils and the vineyard produces small yields. The warm St. Helena temperatures are ideal for producing sweet, jammy fruit and this vineyard tends to be picked at the beginning of harvest each year.

93 POINTS - "Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Hayne Vineyard (100% Cabernet) gives up cassis, kirsch, plums and spice box with cigars and cedar plus hints of lilacs. The palate is medium to full-bodied, fresh and elegant with firm, grainy tannins and a soft-spoken intensity." - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
93 POINTS - "There is an impressive sense of polish to this pure cabernet sauvignon with ripe blackberry and blackcurrant aromas and flavors, delivered in attractively pure, neatly ripened style." - James Suckling
92 POINTS - "This wine delivers without overpowering the senses. Its aromas and flavors of red and blue fruits are showy and bright. Pair it with a grilled lemon-pepper accented pork chop." - Wilfred Wong
91 POINTS - "The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Hayne Vineyard is a pretty, fruity wine that shows a distinctly feminine side of this well-known St. Helena vineyard. Red and purplish berry fruit, spice and floral notes are nicely laced together. Silky, with soft curves and lovely balance, the Hayne is already quite delicious." - Vinous

Mixed berry aromas combine with graphite, vanilla, and toast to excite the senses. The palate offers candied flavors of raspberry, cherry, and plum wrapped up with hints of dust and spice. A coating texture unites these flavors creating a package that is rich from start to finish.
