About this Wine:
Half Mile is a winemaker blend of select barrels to showcase the power and richness of volcanic mountain fruit. Cabernet Sauvignon is the core, with Petit Verdot giving the structure and floral signature that distinguish this wine. Petite Sirah adds density and volume to the palate and beautifully integrated oak creates harmony and refinement.


Winemaking Notes:
The “Half Mile” Cabernet Sauvignon expresses the ripeness and intensity of the highest elevation blocks. Winemaker Alex Beloz selects individual barrels of cabernet to blend with Petit Verdot and Petite Sirah to craft a classic mountain style that is structured and plush. The fermentation is completed in 8-10 days and wines are pressed immediately to avoid over extraction of the skins.


Varietal/Blend:
80% Cabernet Sauvignon 14% Petit Verdot 6% Petite Sirah

94 Points - Wine Enthusiast:

"This flavor-packed but well-balanced wine offers ripe fruit, rich tannins and some spicy complexity, all in well-measured doses, for a seamless expression of the variety. While full in feel, it feels smooth and creamy. Best through 2030." - Jim Gordon (Aug 2020)
