Hafner Cabernet Sauvignon 2019
THE WINE The wine is visually stunning with a very dark, almost opaque purple center that bleeds into a bright garnet rim. While unmistakably new world, the nose is dominated with the non-fruit aromas of black olive, rosemary, black tea leaves and dark forest floor. In the mouth there are flavors of black currant, red plum, black cherry and kalamata olive. All classic markers of Alexander Valley and Clone 6 Cabernet. The wine finishes with both medium plus tannin and medium plus acidity which indicates a wine that will age. Incredibly well-integrated wood for a wine this young provides a modest pedestal for the balanced flavors above.

Quivira Vineyards & Winery
Quivira Vineyards’ is a leading producer of Zinfandel, Sauvignon Blanc and Rhone varietals, built upon intentional winegrowing and a thoughtful commitment to sustainable and organic farming. Quivira’s philosophy is driven by the seamless vision of quality shared between winemaker Hugh Chappelle and vineyard manager Ned Horton. Together, they have integrated the vineyard and winery where farming practices are optimally aligned with the desired characteristics of the finished wine.
The winemaking style at Quivira emphasizes balance and transparency of terroir utilizing thoughtful low-input winemaking to produce wines that proudly showcase their varietals and origins. In crafting these wines, Hugh uses a light touch when working with the raw materials. This is not a hands-off approach, it simply means that manipulation is intentionally and thoughtfully minimized to only those operations the wine truly needs. In fact, it requires even more engagement via more frequent observation and tasting to best know when and when not to intervene. Hugh likes to develop complexity by judiciously using a few techniques: blending, co-fermentation, phased harvesting and barrel aging - both oak and acacia wood.
