ThereAfter Cabernet Sauvignon Escher Vineyard, 2019

Produced by ThereAfter Wine Company

Plum, blackberry, leather, underbrush, pipe smoke, and Kalamata olives. Soft, rich, and mouthwatering, with firm tannins that melt into a juicy finish. Farmed by us, by hand, without a tractor. We use our experiences at Escher to explore and learn regenerative, organic viticulture. We also got married among these vines right before harvesting this vintage.

"I love this wine. It chooses finesse over power and the result is a complex, easy-drinking, food friendly, yummy wine. It has great, refreshing acidity and well-integrated tannins. I think you're going to love it."
