Hailing from the rugged, high-elevation slopes of the Mayacamas Mountains in the Alexander Valley, the Jackson Estate Poet's Peak Cabernet Sauvignon is a testament to mountain viticulture. The vineyard's dramatic elevation exposes the vines to abundant sunshine while cooling breezes preserve acidity, resulting in small, intensely concentrated berries. Grown in well-drained, volcanic soils, this wine showcases the classic power and structure of mountain-grown fruit, characterized by deep blackberry and cassis notes, firm tannins, and a distinctive mineral undertone. It is traditionally aged in French oak barrels to refine its robust character and add layers of baking spice and toasted wood.
