TASTING NOTES
Tumbled through the ages by creeks and rivers, Positas is a gravely Loam soil formed in alluvial material. Primarily located between 200-1000 feet in elevation, Positas soils are found on stream terraces and side slopes, commonly referred to as benchland, home to some of the greatest Cabernet Sauvignon. Positas soils are nutrient rich, moderately deep, and yet, well drained. Cabernet thrives in the environment provided by Positas soils, yielding fruit with thick skins, broad tannins, and rich characteristics. With a pH ranging from 6.0 to 8.0, Positas soils are slightly acidic.

In it’s second incarnation, the 2007 Positas embraces all the great attributes of the incredible vintage, but holds true to the classic expression of old world Cabernet Sauvignon. Though warmer than the previous year, the tannins are still dark and brooding. Notes of ripe blackberry and black cherry are perfectly intertwined with seductive coffee and cocoa. Expansive tannins coat the palate and linger through to the concentrated and supple finish. Still youthful, this wine will drink best between 2013 and 2020.
