Vineyards
A wonderful growing season capped off by intense heat throughout
October meant our oldest vines of Cabernet Sauvignon from the highest
elevation rows on the Blue Rock Vineyard achieved amazing hang time.
Winemaker's Tasting Notes
The barrels selected to best compliment our Cabernet Sauvignon were
three year seasoned, extra tight grain French Oak toasted with a Long
Medium Toast profile by Tonnelleries Nadalie of Ludon-Medoc France. The
wine possesses aromas and flavors of sweet black fruits, cocoa, pencil
shavings and candied cherry with floral undertones. The mid palate
displays impressive density and the tannin profile is chewy, tightly
wound and extremely age worthy.
Food Affinities
Begging for dishes rich enough to complement its own impressive
stature - from the perfect filet mignon to wild mushroom risotto to
robust cheese - all the classic Cabernet pairings will work beautifully
here.
Ageability
Will cellar with increasing elegance and refinement through 2040.

The clay terrain and temperate climate of northern
Tuscany favor the cultivation of olive trees that produce some of the
best oils in the world. That is why Blue Rock sourced cuttings directly
from Fattoria Bernadrdini, one of the world's greatest producers in
Lucca, Italy: to bring you oils unlike any other produced in California.
Our Blue Rock olive oil is produced from a field blend of 4 Tuscan varieties; Leccino, Frantoio, Muarino and Pendolino.
The
olives are harvested by hand in the fall. They are pressed the day they
are picked with a traditional Italian mill to emphasize the richness
inherent in the fruit. We bottle in small batches throughout the year,
with the unbottled oil stored under argon gas to keep it fresh. Unlike
wine, olive oil is best the minute is it pressed. Our oil is rich and
creamy with a garden-fresh aroma and a blast of pepper in the finish. A
sediment is both welcomed and expected as it is bottled unfiltered in
order to retain its pundgent personality.
Use as a substitute for butter with bread. It is also a great condiment for fish, poultry, and vegetables.
