TASTING NOTES
Formed in alluvial material from mixed rock sources, Positas is a gravely to extremely gravely loam. Generally found on stream terraces, the typical vineyard is between 200 and 800 ft in elevation, moderately sloped, and fairly well drained. Having deeper soils, there is more nutrients available to the vines. The resulting Positas single soil wine is exemplified by dark fruit characteristics, opulent richness, sweeping tannins, and a persistent finish.

This Cabernet will age beautifully for the next 8-12 years.
