2014 vintage. 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from the Eagle Summit Vineyard on Howell Mountain at 2100 feet elevation. Impressive full-bodied cab with real depth, beautiful black fruit, well-tamed tannin, great acidity and a long aftertaste. Powerful while maintaining elegance. Impressive effort from owners Heather & Josh Clark (Clark Vineyard Management) with famous winemaker Thomas Brown. 250 cases produced.

Probably best to drink near term. Plenty nice but not sure it is going to improve

Blown away. Thought it was a warm year, thought it was valley floor, thought it may even be a Bordeaux blend. A 2011 Cab this round--even though high in tannins--was not on the radar. Great job TRB!
