Tasting Notes
Our 2022 Snake Oil is made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon and selected from premier cabernet blocks on the property. This wine beautifully expresses fruit and terroir with notes of dark plum, cedar, tobacco spice, and a hint of fresh mint. Prevalent tannins lead the palate but are balanced by big cassis and dark chocolate flavors. Snake Oil is a deep and full-bodied wine with rich complexity that allows the potential to age for many years.
