Ovis Description

V i n t a g e 2 0 1 9
2019 was a wet spring followed by a mild summer. It was
ideal for long hang time and getting phenolic ripeness.
Early season frost singed low areas but cooled off all
northern locations and allowed for extended hang time of
our Cabernet and Petite Sirah.
Acids remained naturally higher this vintage and brix were
slow to accumulate until they spiked at the end of the
season. Power shutoffs made pressing and pumping grapes
difficult. In the end we got all the fruit in and made some
beautiful wines for the mild season.

After years of scouring our extensive Home Ranch property,
we've identified the finest blocks. The 2019 OVIS Cabernet
Sauvignon is the culmination of years of thoughtful work in
both the vineyard, and the winery. This blend is a
combination of our highest tiered vineyard parcels, farmed
specifically for maximum concentration and flavor. The
deep garnet color, wonderful aromatics, and matured
tannins are a dead giveaway of it's High Valley origin.
Sweet aromas of cherries, plums, and cassis are balanced
with savory notes of thyme, and anis. The powerful tannins
have softened through extended aging in a mix of new
and used French oak barrels. This wine is perfect for your
next dinner party, but will also hold up for many years to
come.

Ovis (Latin for sheep)…. is a small lot of wine that pays homage to the
flock of sheep that help control the cover crops and weeds in the
vineyards. The sheep and the dedicated Great Pyrenees guard dogs
are the foundation of Clay Shannon’s sustainable farming practices.
His love of protecting mother earth creates fertile lands that
produce this extraordinary wine that he and his family offer to you
with pride.
