2023 Erikson & Caradin - Bilateral

Mountain Blend Cabernet Sauvignon

Napa Valley’s mountain vineyards are prized for their intensity, structure, and unmistakable sense of place. Sourced from select high-elevation sites, this Mountain Blend reflects meticulous viticulture shaped by rugged terrain and cooler nights that preserve freshness and aromatic lift. The result is a Cabernet Sauvignon defined by concentration, precision, and the layered complexity that mountain fruit consistently delivers.

The 2023 vintage opens with expressive aromas of blackcurrant, dark cherry, and wild blackberry, framed by notes of crushed rock, sage, and subtle violet. On the palate, dense dark fruit unfolds alongside cocoa and espresso, supported by firm, finely grained tannins and a pronounced mineral backbone. Vibrant acidity brings lift and energy, carrying through to a long, structured finish marked by cedar, graphite, and a touch of savory spice—hallmarks of mountain-grown Cabernet built for both impact and longevity.
