Layered with remarkable complexity and intensity of flavors and aromas, SLOAN exhibits a gorgeous tension between elements of grace and power, balance and opulence, as well as age and vibrancy.

The Lindstrom Cabernet Sauvignon, grown on one of the warmer sites in Stags Leap District, shows off the cooler season to its full advantage, while still retaining the ripe cherry and cocoa powder characteristics so indicative of this growing area.

Salbide is a local name meaning "Horses' Path." It refers to the ancient routes leading from the vineyards across the nearby Sierra de Cantabria mountain range. The same mountains protect the very old vineyards from the strong northerly winds and allow the juicy-red tempranillo grapes to ripen perfectly.

Garnet red. On the nose there are scents of cherries, wild strawberries, caramel. Fresh and well balanced, good length on the palate. The grapes are handpicked, sorted and transported to the winery in small containers to avoid crushing berries and premature oxidation. They are completely de-stemmed and put into vats open stainless steel, the temperatures being controlled by thermoregulation.

100% from the Sloan family's Barlow Homestead Vineyard planted in 2009. This amazing young site is already expressing itself in the wines showing great natural acidity, evident tannins, minerality, and even some distinct savory characteristics. Small Vines Wines is very excited about this precise inaugural offering.

A fascinating nose of black licorice, plum skin, tar, blackberries, grilled bread, talc, pine needles, mesquite, and white pepper, which pulls you deeper and deeper into the glass with every swirl. A dark, brooding and savory wine that displays the beauty of the balancing act between fruit and tannin.
