Latitude 38 is a Bordeaux-style blend typical
of those from the Pessac. It is a
proprietary blend of Cabernet
Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc.
In keeping with the contention that
great wines have a sense of place,
Latitude 38 is so named such that if you
were to go to Latitude 38 degrees 30
minutes north and Longitude 122
degrees 24 minutes west, you will be in
the place - the center of our vineyards.
WINEMAKER'S NOTES
Our Latitude 38 is a Bordeaux-style blend of 58 % Cabernet
Sauvignon, 32% Merlot, and 10 % Cabernet Franc.
Dark ruby/purple in color. It presents an aroma of violets,
vanilla, spice, and black fruits. The wine makes a beautiful
entry to the palate with black berries, black currant, and
plums. It has great depth and concentration with lingering
flavors of chocolate as a background to compliment the
complex ripe tannins and long lingering finish.
