Amuse Cabernet Sauvignon 2024

Amuse 2024 is a terroir-specific Cabernet Sauvignon from the Chalk Hill Appellation — known for producing Cabernet Sauvignon of structure, aromatic precision, and natural poise. Amuse is an expressive wine shaped by site, elevation, and careful blending to highlight balance over excess.

The 2024 vintage is built almost entirely from Chalk Hill Cabernet Sauvignon, with small, thoughtfully selected additions from neighboring hillside sites and vineyard blocks to refine texture, deepen complexity, and enhance aromatic definition.

A Cabernet Sauvignon of quiet confidence—refined, site-driven, and built on balance rather than force, offering immediate appeal with the promise of further depth over time.

In the glass, Amuse 2024 shows a deep garnet core with an expressive bouquet of blackcurrant, dark cherry, and ripe blackberry, layered with dried herbs, and a subtle floral lift. The palate is poised and structured, carrying generous dark fruit framed by polished tannins and a seamless, integrated mouthfeel.

The mid-palate is supple and expansive, while the finish is long and composed, echoing with dark fruit, cedar, and a distinct mineral thread that reflects its Chalk Hill origin.

Approachable now, yet with the backbone to evolve beautifully over the next several years.

Chalk Hill vines are rooted in well-drained volcanic and chalky soils, where warm days encourage full ripeness while cooling Pacific influences preserve freshness and lift. The result is fruit with clarity and focus—richly concentrated, yet finely detailed.

Chalk Hill’s natural elevation and cooling evening temperatures preserve freshness and lift, allowing the wine to maintain energy alongside richness. The result is a Cabernet Sauvignon of sophistication and balance, with polished structure, expressive fruit, and a long, graceful finish that reflects both the character of Clone 337 and the elegance of its hillside origin.

Matured in French Oak for 22 months, 45% new, 40% one use and the balance neutral.
