Our family started Block Nine in response to changes in the Pinot Noir market. Demand for moderately priced Pinot Noir spiked leaving consumers with few choices of smaller production Pinot Noir from California. After years of making only Pinot Noir with consistently high ratings, we expanded our product offering to make great value Cabernet also. This is our inaugural release. We hope you enjoy it.
The 2020 Block Nine Cabernet Sauvignon exhibit aromas that gush of warm plum and blackberry fruit flavors. This wine is well built up front with flavors of black currant fruit, cassis and hints of sweet spice. It shows good energy as licorice and apple wood accents complete its complex finish. The 2020 growing season was generous is length and consistent temperatures. Flavors were strong at harvest and we think 2020 will prove to be a terrific vintage.
