"The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Fission is a gorgeous wine from Mai Errazuriz and Rodrigo Soto. Ample and deep, the 2021 possesses tons of complexity from the very first taste. Brambly overtones meld into leather, cedar, tobacco and dried herbs. Brooding tannins wrap it all together. The Fission emerges from dry-farmed vines planted on St. George rootstock at Alta Vista Gold Ranch on Moon Mountain. The old-vine field selection is believed to include some Cabernet Franc." -Antonio Galloni

"An exemplary mountain Cabernet Sauvignon from the team at Far Mountain, this wine is sourced from the 50-year-old, dry-farmed vines at Alta Vista Vineyard in Sonoma's Moon Mountain District. The volcanic soils and gnarled head-trained vines make for a dramatic, elegant wine: Pine needles and bay leaf frame wild mountain berries and mineral tones of pencil lead and iron. The palate shows sappy tart blackberries, muddled mint leaves, and graphite streaks across the flavour profile, finishing with fresh chopped herbs and white pepper—a fresh, invigorating Cabernet from Sonoma showing so much respect for the site." -Clive Pursehouse

"This red offers delicious boysenberry and mulberry pate de fruit flavors laced with violet and licorice notes through the polished, fan-friendly finish. Drink now through 2025."

"Rich and rustic aromas of black plum, spiced cherry, cedar and black pepper burst from the glass on the nose of this decadent Cabernet. The palate brings flavors of fresh blackberry jam, plum skin, tobacco and cocoa powder in a rich and tannic framework built for aging. Give this some time in the cellar to soften and enjoy with grilled ribeye." -Tom R. Capo
