    This Wine Is Rated:


    We like to take a pretty minimal approach to our winemaking. Tap into some great sources and make varietally true and focused wines. However, the one part where we get to really flex some skills is during the blending process. Sometimes we weave together as many as two dozen different lots selected for cooperage, oak age, vineyards, and vineyard blocks. In the case of our Cabernet Sauvignon, we even have the option of using small pieces of other Bordeaux varietals to make it just so.

    The 2018 growing season brought exceptional grape quality. The season started with a mild spring that gave way to warm summer days and cool evenings. The growing conditions were ideal, allowing for long hang times, and the dry weather was advantages in preventing disease and pest pressure. With moderate yields, the fruit was of strong quality across California and the resulting wines are complex and concentrated with opulent and giving tannins and structure. We sourced this blend from several vineyard sites across multiple appellations. Each adding its own important component to the blend.

    This vintage of RICKSHAW Cabernet is just that, a Cabernet Sauvignon in a food-friendly, Tuesday night glass in front of the TV style. Black cherry, black currant and blueberry aromas lead to flavors of dark fruit, vanilla, and hints of cedar.
