During a brisk October afternoon, Jesse stepped foot for the first time inside Herzog’s wine cellar. Taken aback by unforgettable aromas, he knew his first selection would come from this place.
After tasting a multitude, one barrel spoke loud and clear: A Cabernet Sauvignon with character. Chateau Schechtman was born.
Raised in the iron-rich, sun-soaked soils of Dry Creek, California, this wine boasts powerful notes of ripe cherries, black currants and toasted vanilla with hints of graphite. Aged in oak for 59 months, it is smooth and expressive with complex layers of warm winter jam flavor. Pair with a hearty meal and don’t be afraid to let this flourish for a few more years in bottle.
