2017 50 Harvests Heritage

57% Cabernet Sauvignon, 29% Merlot and 14% Cabernet Franc. Hand harvested from vineyards in Oak Knoll. Each varietal is destemmed, fermented and aged separately. Aged for twenty months in French oak. 14.8% alcohol.

The Scotto family releases 50 Harvests, to commemorate fifty consecutive California harvests for this pioneering winemaking family.  Five generations of Scottos have produced wine dating back to 1883 in Italy. In 1963, they moved to California, and have been making quality wines every year since.

93 points, Wine Enthusiast. "Chocolate-mint aromas greet the nose before a grippy texture and rich cocoa, spearmint and blueberries flood the palate. This wine is sleek yet muscular, showing ample richness and ripeness backed by firm but polished tannins. Best from 2025–2035."
