26% from the Eleven Confessions (Estate) Vineyard and 2% from Molly Aida (Estate) Vineyard

the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon leaps from the glass with gorgeous floral notes of red roses and lilacs over a core of black and red cherries

the 2015 Madrona Ranch is more elegant and finesse-driven than the Cappella

Paired very well with lamb chops and grilled vegetables
