2018 is the middle of three vintages, starting with the iconic 2017, that shows the world-class quality of the Livermore Valley. The Home Ranch located about 5 miles east of Lencioni Estate Vineyard was the fruit source for this rare wine.

Tasting Notes

The naturally high-acid grape, Barbera, was the perfect variety to use for our rare and delicious méthode champenoise sparkling wine. Ripe fruit, creamy mid-palate, and wonderful acidity make this refreshing wine the perfect accompaniment to all kinds of celebrations.

Vineyard Character

The 2016 vintage began with significant winter rainfall (Livermore saw rainfall in January 2016 exceed that of January 2015 by 243%). Helping to recharge aquifers and wells, rainfall was also helpful in leaching out some of the dissolved solids that had accumulated during the drought.

Tasting Notes

The Estate Cabernet Sauvignon shows great balance of acidity, tannin, fruit, and wood even when young. This wine has gorgeous structure and will age beautifully for 15 – 20 years with proper storage. 

Drink from 2020 – 2040.
