A dry winter was followed by a warm, consistent spring and early summer, promoting balanced vine growth and a steady fruit set. As the season progressed, the valley experienced several extended heat events, which drove concentration in the fruit, while cool evenings helped preserve acidity. Harvest began earlier than in recent years on September 10th, with Cabernet Sauvignon showing remarkable depth, ripeness, and tannin structure.

An unusually wet winter followed by a cool, fog-kissed spring delayed the season’s start by nearly two weeks, providing abundant soil moisture and lush canopy growth. A mild summer with steady temperatures and minimal heat spikes encouraged slow ripening and the development of deep color, polished tannins, and bright acidity. A brief Labor Day heat spike nudged the fruit toward ideal ripeness, followed by light, inconsequential rain. Harvest stretched into October, yielding Cabernet clusters with varietal purity, balance, and expressive fruit—hallmarks of one of Livermore’s most elegant vintages in recent memory.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 18px;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Wine:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003eOur 2023 Colton’s Cabernet is a captivating expression of Cabernet Sauvignon—bold yet refined. In the glass, it reveals a deep garnet hue that hints at richness. The nose opens with layers of black cherries, blackberries, and currants, accented by violets, sweet jasmine, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla. Subtle notes of thyme, oregano, chocolate mint, and sandalwood add complexity.  On the palate, this vintage showcases a core of ripe dark fruit—black cherry, blackberry, and currant—lifted by bright acidity and velvety tannins. Notes of milk chocolate, white pepper, and cigar box offer savory depth. The finish is long, expressive, and fruit-driven, carrying richness through to the final sip.  Pair with braised short rib and wild mushrooms, or try it with a grilled lamb burger topped with herbed goat cheese.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-variant-numeric: normal;
