California

A luscious barrel-aged wine that captures the crisp, vibrant character of the Sauvignon Blanc grape. The wine opens with floral aromas of orange blossom and jasmine merging with fresh citrus and a touch of mineral and toasted almond. Richly layered flavors of citrus and lychee fruit unfold on the palate. Thanks to barrel-fermentation and gentle stirring during sur lie aging in French oak, the wine is round and expressive, with a long, elegant finish.

Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Sangiovese are given the royal treatment in this Russian River Valley red blend. We got what we wanted: an enthusiastic burst of ripe fruits, a seductive combination of luring aromas that only start with berry, spice and chocolate; and a wine whose texture is smooth, juicy and long.

The 2006 blends the lush berry flavors of Zinfandel(51%), the power and concentration of Cabernet Sauvignon (23%), the dark black fruit of Syrah (12%), the intensity and structure of Petit Sirah (6%), the flesh of Charbono (6%) and a hint of Grenache (2%) - all combined for a decadent wine with great complexity.

“This is a bolder, more complex Scion than past vintages. High notes of spice and plum are rounded out by earthy, dark cherry flavors. The structured finish is smooth and bright with light tannins. This is a memorable wine that will be drinkable for the next 8 years.” - Kevin Warren, winemaker

The 2002 Martha’s Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is a magnificent wine, classic in style, and showing immense power balanced with lush, sweet tannins. The elegant structure of this wine is a compliment to the purity of the varietal fruit from Martha’s Vineyard and a lovely reflection of its Oakville appellation. You are immediately drawn to the celebrated minty aroma of this Cabernet and swept away by the authenticity of its taste --- a mingling of velvety chocolate with ripe berries.
