Ode to the Beast Cabernet Sauvignon

Cabernet Sauvignon

Alexander Valley

BOLD. UNAPOLOGETIC. We deeply respect a truly compelling Cabernet Sauvignon for its boldness, full-flavor and best expression of the land. Our Ode to the Beast is a tribute to where it all began for us, bold Cabernet from Sonoma County. This small-lot Cabernet was crafted with a borderline obsessive attention to detail, with only the best barrels selected. Our most beastly wine, it is made only for the bold at heart.

Tasting Notes

The 2023 Ode to the Beast opens with a rich, inviting bouquet dominated by warm vanilla, sweet nutmeg, and aromatic cedar. On the palate, this bold wine reveals luxurious layers of deep blackberry and indulgent chocolate-covered cherry, seamlessly balanced by savory notes of rich caramel and earthy tobacco. Structured by exceptionally smooth, velvet tannins, its robust profile demands equally hearty culinary companions. It pairs magnificently with a premium Filet Mignon with peppercorn sauce, succulent braised pork shank, or a deeply smoky, slow-cooked brisket.
