Summary

Clif Family Winery's Cabernet Sauvignon from the Cold Springs Vineyard exemplifies the unique terroir of Howell Mountain, characterized by rocky volcanic soils and a cool elevation that influences its flavor profile. The 2011 vintage is noted for its restrained and savory characteristics, showcasing bright acidity and firm tannins that complement the flavors of red and black currants, wild blackberries, and hints of cedar and graphite. This organically farmed wine, produced in limited quantities, reflects its origins and is currently drinking well, especially with a short decant to enhance its complex notes of bay laurel and earthy undertones.
