About the Wine
This is a bold expression of hillside Cabernet, with a dark iridescent violet-hued red color. Complex aromas of cassis, tobacco leaf, cedar, and espresso, are coupled with a monlithic structure of high-quality tannins that is built to last for decades. A long, lingering finish evokes forest floor and classic Cabernet flavors.
This vintage was sourced from a rocky hillside vineyard perched above the fogline in Knights Valley. There the terroir is conducive to making inky, concentrated wines of great distinction. That is the essence of Delectus.
About the Winery
In 2005, after years of searching for the perfect site, Delectus purchased 112 acres overlooking Knights Valley. The property was a summer residence for poet and writer Robert Louis Stevenson who spent much time sitting outside writing and admiring the view. Neighboring Mount St. Helena is now a State park named after the writer. The Ranch sits above the fog line which provides a more moderate climate, unlike the valley floor where daytime and nighttime temperatures can vary dramatically. As a result, the wines are more concentrated, tannic, and inky, which is the quality and essence of Delectus.
