Saunders Block is Venge's Cabernet Sauvignon from Oakville Ranch, the certified-organic estate high in Oakville's eastern hills at 600 to 1,000 feet. The block was once Charlie Saunders' 41-acre vineyard, now farmed by organic viticulture legend Phil Coturri on rocky red volcanic clay loam. Kirk Venge turns that dirt into exactly what hillside Oakville should be: full-bodied and tannic, black brambly fruit, an exceptionally long finish. Power with real energy underneath. For the drinker who wants altitude in the glass.

Black, brambly fruit aromatics over a deep purple core. Full-bodied and tannic with balanced concentration, distinctive energy and brightness from volcanic soils, and an exceptionally long finish.

Classic matches for a red like this: Grilled and roasted meats, hearty pastas, aged cheeses.
