2021 Stirm Siletto Vineyard Cabernet Pfeffer San Benito County

Winemaker’s Notes: Cabernet Pfeffer in San Benito County and nowhere else in the world.   Earthy, with strawberry and blackberry note; its peppery and bone dry.  Light to medium bodied, there is not much out there like this one! 

Ron Siletto, a longtime icon of San Benito Viticulture, is the primary source of Cabernet Pfeffer in San Benito County, where the variety is grown, and nowhere else in the world. In France it’s known as Mourtaou/Mancin, an old variety from Bordeaux. There are less than 10 acres of it in the world.
