2021 Desire Lines Wine Co. - Cabernet Sauvignon Petaluma Gap Lichau Hill Vineyard (750ml)
Price: $82.00
In Mixed Case: $73.80
This Cabernet is one of the greatest finds we’ve made in CA for some time! Winemaker Cody Rasmussen and his wife Emily are inspired by the CA Cabs of the 70s and 80s, and their label pays homage to that era. “Desire Lines” are paths off a beaten trail that have been carved by repeated walking over that path; this is emblematic of their desire to craft a different style of wine than their neighbors. Cody was the assistant winemaker at Bedrock Wine Co., another California estate we hold in high esteem for their terroir driven, expressive wines. This vineyard is in the Petaluma Gap in Sonoma County, where temperatures drop over 30F each night, helping to bring poise and focus to their wines. Winemaker: “Lichau Hill is an absolutely exceptional site, the perfect marriage of a cooler coastal climate and the crazy rocky soils of a great mountain Cabernet vineyard. Freshness, perfume and vibrancy meets power and concentration. Our 2019 Lichau Hill Cabernet Sauvignon was fully destemmed, fermented and left on skins for thirty days in tank, and aged for 15 months in 225L barriques with 33% new oak included. The wine has a silky mouthfeel with vibrant acidity and a distinctly red-fruited profile, with pretty notes of red currant, red apple skin, rose petals and graphite.” -Jonny Lips
