The Story
Miro Cabernet Sauvignon Hitchcock Vineyard is a beautifully crafted, small-lot artisanal red wine produced by highly acclaimed winemaker Miro Tcholakov. Sourced from the high-elevation Hitchcock Vineyard, which sits atop the mountain range dividing the Russian River, Knights Valley, and Chalk Hill appellations, this vineyard-designate benefits from intense sunshine, steep slopes, and cooling mountain breezes. The relatively old vines, anchored in low-fertility volcanic soils, produce concentrated berries that yield a wine of spectacular color, depth, and structural complexity. The bouquet opens with vibrant aromas of sweet black cherries, juicy wild blackberries, and crème de cassis, beautifully layered with classic elements of charcoal, graphite, cocoa, and toasted oak spice. On the palate, it is full-bodied, rich, and concentrated, delivering a lush and powerful core of dark stone fruits framed by fine-grained, velvety tannins and a balancing acidity that leads to a persistent, refined, and age-worthy finish.
Food Pairing:
Pairs beautifully with grilled dry-aged ribeye steaks, roasted rosemary rack of lamb, braised beef short ribs, pan-seared duck breast, and mature hard cheeses like aged gouda.
