i.p.o.
i.p.o. is a Cabernet Sauvignon dominant blend with small amounts of Syrah and Zinfandel.
Dark ruby. Smoke-accented aromas of cherry, cassis, pipe tobacco and violet, with a peppery nuance adding vibrancy. Juicy and focused on entry, then broader and fleshier in the middle, offering sweet black and blue fruit flavors with suggestions of licorice and fruitcake. Spreads out nicely on the finish, which features round tannins and repeating smoke and floral notes.

“initial public offering”
This is a nod to my career spent as a financial advisor, and also the one acre sliver of Cabernet Sauvignon on the property when we purchased it. This was the only block of vines. The rest were walnut trees.
2012 was the last vintage of i.p.o.. Although I love this wine, I wanted to make way for iso. Enjoy this library wine while it lasts!
