Di Costanzo seeks authentic, age-worthy Cabernet through careful farming and restrained cellar work, allowing the volcanic character of Coombsville to remain clearly visible.

Graphite, wild strawberry and complex spice open the wine. The palate is silky and refined, with dark red fruit, blood orange and Caldwell's signature red raspberry-leaf tea note. A persistent graphite core brings depth and length.

• Old-vine Cabernet from a historic Coombsville block.
• Power and full body balanced by freshness and mineral tension.
• A restrained 13.4% ABV supports elegance and longevity.
