Lot #45 Linked Vineyards

With “The One” Linked Vineyards continues the tradition of the “nano” brand they started in 2007. One variety. One clone. One rootstock. One winemaker. One farmer. One very small section of their 15-acre vineyard. These singular elements, put together properly, lead to a truly beautiful wine.

Linked Vineyards is the true embodiment of small batch Sonoma County luxury wine. Founded by the Link Family in 2000 as a place to build a family legacy, Linked Vineyards offers ultra-exclusive, handcrafted Knights Valley Cabernet Sauvignon to discerning collectors. This five case lot is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon and 100% estate grown. It is a special selection by Drew, Jessica and Luc from the eight barrels that make up their total production for 2023!

In the glass, you are immediately struck by the depth of color. Winemaker Luc Morlet calls it violet foncé. The intensity of the color is a tantalizing promise of the aroma and flavors to come. The nose is filled with wild berries, Santa Rosa plums, cassis and allspice, with undertones of dried mushrooms and light floral notes. A sip reveals a complex symphony of boysenberries, blackberries and dark Bing cherries blended with layers of pepper, warm spices, graphite and mocha. Beautifully structured tannins and an easy minerality lead to an exceptionally long silken finish.
