This is Dress Maker. A Solera-style Cabernet Sauvignon beget from eight vintages, over a decade of experimentation and bold ventures. A thread of poetry here, a thread of nature there, all brought forth by this – my labor and my spirit, bottled. It’s the lynchpin around which my creations spin, a culmination of my trials and triumphs. Conceived in 2012, Dress Maker integrates Cabernet Sauvignon vintages from each harvest since, evoking the best of their characters. A perfect balance of old vintage depth and new vintage vibrance.
