Rock Horse Ranch Cabernet 2014

Rock Horse Ranch
Varietal: Cabernet
Vintage: 2014
Country of Origin: California
Retail Price: $24.99

Tasting Notes: Natalies Estate winemaker Boyd Teagarden decided to make a second label from his estate project and Rock Horse Ranch was born. Higher alcohol and more fruit-driven than his estate wines, but so well balanced that you would be shocked by the over-15% alcohol as it’s labeled — the mark of a great winemaker. The essence of Columbia Valley is captured in this glass of cabernet. Enjoy!
