Blackletter is the highly allocated, limited-production, top-of-the-lineup cuvée made by the people behind our top-selling Broadside Cabernet Sauvignon. It outperforms its price point year after year and the 2020 vintage has exceeded the high bar of its predecessors. 
 
A blend of 89% cabernet sauvignon and 11% cabernet franc, the 2022 Blackletter's cabernet sauvignon is sourced from equal parts Santa Margarita Ranch Vineyard block 49 and Hastings Ranch high up in the Adelaida hills. These are complemented by fruit from Willow Creek district’s Grosso-Kresser Vineyard and Casagrande Vineyard from the far west side of the Adelaida district. Cabernet franc from Hastings Ranch Vineyard rounds out the blend. The wine was aged in a combination of French and American oak barrels.

95 points, Wine Enthusiast:
"This is a complex expression, thanks in part to the 11% cabernet franc. Aromas of roasted plum, chocolate, mahogany, and black olive recall a wooden booth in a classic bar. The palate hits with acid and then a tannic bite, offering strawberry, chai, and mace flavors that are lively while rich. Tannins cling on for an extended finish, offering licorice spice to say goodbye." (5/1/24)
