2022 "Impact" Cabernet Sauvignon - Mount Veeder

The original — the wine that started Hailstone in 2012 and gave Chris Zazo his answer to everyone who said he couldn't do it. Impact Cabernet from Mt. Veeder is dark, structured, and built on the volcanic soils and high elevation that define this demanding appellation. Winemaker Chad Alexander selects specific rows within premier Mt. Veeder sites, returning year after year to the blocks that consistently deliver. Duck breast with blackberry demi is the pairing at Hailstone dinner events. That should tell you everything you need to know.
