2016 Sandstorm Series Cabernet Sauvignon

The Desert Wind ‘Sandstorm Series’ is carefully crafted from the best lots of wine from each vintage, all sourced from Desert Wind Vineyard. This wine features the best of our Cabernet Sauvignon, with smaller portions of Merlot, Petit Verdot, and Malbec blended in to provide extra depth of character and complexity. The wine was fermented in open top bins, and aged for 18 months in French oak, with 40% new barrels. The resulting wine is bold and elegantly structured with notes of vanilla, caramel, black cherry, black currant, and spice.
