2021 Cabernet Sauvignon – Newsom Vineyard

Notes on the nose of licorice, mint, root beer, black currant, black cherry and past-ripe plum enter into a palate that is super smooth, full-bodied, and wild. Elderflower and wintergreen notes roll into a long, pleasant finish. Completely dry, bold, yet elegant.

AVA: Texas High Plains

Established in Yoakum County by the Newsom family, they now have about 150 acres of quality fruit growing in the flat, semi-arid conditions there. Neal Newsom, who grew up in Yoakum, came from a long line of cotton farmers. With cotton as a thirsty crop, requiring more water than Texas often has to give, he looked toward alternative crops and settled on growing high quality grapes from their dry, shallow, poor soils that cause the grapes to struggle. 

Elevation: 3,700 ft. Soil: Shallow, low-vigor sandy loam. Age of vines: 30 years.
