Cabernet Sauvignon Release Party!
Introducing our brand-new 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon — aged in Texas White Oak for a distinctly regional expression you won’t find anywhere else.
Why it’s unique
A rare barrel choice: Very few wineries use Texas White Oak, and we’re proud to be among them. These barrels impart a signature profile that celebrates terroir and tradition.
Flavor profile: Expect elegant layers of dark cherry and cassis, supported by warm baking spices, toasted pecan, and a subtle undercurrent of mesquite-like smokiness. The oak adds creamy vanilla and a soft, silky tannin structure that carries through a long, satisfying finish.
Thoughtful aging: Our winemakers embraced traditional techniques and patient cellaring to let the fruit and Texas oak speak together — balanced, complex, and true to place.
Be among the few to taste Texas terroir in oak. Reserve your bottle of the 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon and share the story — unique barrels, genuine winemaking, and community-rooted flavor.
