Points Wonderfully complex scents of crème de cassis, wild blueberries, plum preserves and incense with nuances of lilacs, cigar box… a rock-solid frame of grainy tannins and seamless freshness, finishing long and perfumed.

Tasting Notes

Complex, velvety and bold, the 2015 Cherryblock delivers a great deal of intricacy and sophistication. The wine fills the glass with dark red and purple highlights, followed by intense aromas of cassis, tobacco and black fruit. Waves of rich black fruit wash over the palate, where layers of cedar and tobacco converge. The tannins from this vintage were more intense than usual, leading us to blend in a little more Merlot than is typical. The tanish is framed by full soft tannins and lingering notes of herbs and spice. This wine is drinking well in its youth, but will improve over the next 10+ years.

Wine Fact Sheet

Since its creation, Cherryblock has been our flagship wine at Sebastiani. The majority of the fruit (80%) came from our original Old Vines block of Cabernet Sauvignon planted in 1961. The wine also features a portion of fruit from younger vines on our estate. Small amounts of Malbec and Merlot were sourced from nearby sites with similar climates and soils. Our goal is to create a benchmark Cabernet that possesses the elegance, structure and terroir-driven aromatics only found in Cherryblock.
