Walking Tree Cabernet Sauvignon
Ancient oak trees dot the landscape of Alexander Valley. Walking Tree takes its name from one of these majestic trees that remarkably “walked” down a steep grade of vineyard during heavy rains, all while remaining upright and very much alive.
Tasting Notes
A deep garnet with amethyst reflections in the glass. Expressive aromas of dark berry, cassis and white pepper give way to a palate full of luscious blueberry and blackberry with hints of toasted vanilla and leather. Refined tannins lead to a subtle spiciness that lingers on a long and elegant finish.
Vineyards
The 2022 vintage marks the 17th release of the Walking Tree Cabernet Sauvignon. The fruit for this wine is sourced from two excellent Alexander Valley vineyards. The different soils, exposures, and microclimates of these two vineyards adds enticing complexity of aromas and flavors to the finished wine.
Winemaking
Following traditional fermentation methods, the wine was aged for 20 months in French oak barrels. The Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot were fermented separately and expertly blended.
