2017 Amapola Creek Estate Cabernet Sauvignon

vivi 4.3

From the exceptional 2017 vintage, Amapola Creek's vibrant Cabernet Sauvignon is rich and powerful with the structure to evolve gracefully in the cellar. It remains an exceptional value from a family-owned and -operated estate. According to the estate, "Spread along 600 to 1,000 vertical feet of a sun-washed western slope of the Mayacamas range, our 100+ acre Amapola Creek ranch borders the highly acclaimed Monte Rosso Vineyards. The red, basaltic volcanic soils we share with our esteemed next-door neighbor have yielded superb wine for well over the last century. The rhyolitic soils from our China Bowl Vineyard add a firm tannin structure to the French clone Cabernet Sauvignon vines planted there in 2000. All 15 acres of our mountain estate vineyards are CCOF (California Certified Organic Farmers) certified organic."
