Very special 2013 vintage ...where the extremely hot summer and heavy rain actually balanced out the wine naturally ...amazing riper/redfruit but the balance of earth to fruit and oak really showcases winemakers ability to create and work in confluence w nature and still create a very special wine...awesome!! Go Cahill!! — 6 years ago
Cahill earns her place on the rich end Of the spectrum and the 2012 vintage shows that character especially well. Ripe orchard fruits. Apricots. Cultured butter. Brioche. Abv is warm but the style supports it. — 9 years ago
Sipping Fine Wine
From 100% Wente clones that get max hang time, large and tiny berries packed together, pale lemon with subtle aromas of citrus and stone fruits. On the palate flavors of apple, lemon and lime flavors, crisp acidity, long finish ending with rich mineral character. — 5 months ago
