Clif Family Winery Cabernet Sauvignon Croquet Vineyard 2014
The Winery
Clif Family Winery
Clif Family Winery operates a beautiful open-to-the-public tasting room in St. Helena called Velo Vino or in Italian, “Bicycle Wine”. Clif Family Winery released their first vintage in 2006. Founders of Clif Family Wines, Gary Erickson and Kit Crawford have always enjoyed good wine and found inspiration to start a winery during extended bike tour stops at villa estate wineries in Northern Italy.
Summary
The Clif Family Winery Cabernet Sauvignon from the Croquet Vineyard showcases the unique characteristics of Howell Mountain's volcanic soils. This small-lot red wine, crafted by winemaker Laura Barrett, features a blend of blackcurrant and blackberry flavors intermingled with notes of graphite and cocoa, providing a rich and layered profile. The wine is supported by lively acidity and polished tannins, making it both powerful and structured. With its cycling-centric roots and focus on food pairing, this Cabernet is designed for enjoyment now and can age beautifully until 2032. The production is limited, adding to its exclusivity.
