The nose is highly concentrated with dark blackberry and ripe plum. The palate is intensely fruit-driven, where core black fruit flavors seamlessly integrate with undertones of espresso and cocoa powder. Defined by strong, balanced tannins, the wine carries to a long, enduring finish.

Wine Profile
Vineyard Notes
Hommage Cabernet Sauvignon is our flagship wine, highlighting our top Cabernet vineyard blocks and world class winemaking, resulting in a wine of balance, complexity and character. This wine is bold and sensuous with a silky texture and lengthy finish.
Winemaker Notes
Picked at dawn, delivered to the winery and hand sorted. Destemmed to tank. Cold soaked for four days, followed by a warm moderately fast ferment, during which the tank was pumped over twice daily. On the completion of primary fermentation, the wine was gently pressed to barrel for malolactic fermentation. The wine was then matured in our caves for 18 months before bottling.
Food Pairing Notes
Our Hommage Cabernet is the perfect pairing with grilled ribeye steak. The rich marbling in the ribeye is essential, as the wine’s high, structured tannins bind to and cut through that fat, completely cleansing the palate. This interaction complements the wine and makes it taste smoother, resulting in a balanced pairing where every sip prepares you perfectly for the next bite.
