This slow, steady 2019 vintage was everything we could have hoped for in terms of offering balance, great concentration and the lift that you see in the aromatics and structure, certainly early trademarks of our wines.

This first vintage of Fission expresses what we believe California, and Sonoma, can almost uniquely produce: pure mountain cabernet, with a dark depth of fruit chiseled by the cool elevation of its two vineyard sites. A wine of texture, with the intensity and sappy concentration we associate with old vines, it builds into powerful tannins that remain refined, almost cloaked by the seductiveness of the fruit and the gently building structure.
