In 2014, Los Altos Vineyards strengthened its commitment to sustainability with the acquisition of Tin Cross Vineyards.  This 240-acre ranch in the Pine Mountain-Cloverdale Peak AVA boasts 36 planted acres of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Chardonnay, Merlot, and Petit Verdot. Our journey continued in 2017 with the opening of the Los Altos Tasting Room.

The 2020 Tin Cross Cabernet Sauvignon unveils a captivating deep ruby hue, setting the stage for an intriguing sensory experience. With a medium-intensity nose, it offers an aromatic bouquet featuring notes of tomato leaf, prune, blackberry, and cedar, inviting you deeper into its complexity. On the palate, this wine delivers a balanced profile with dryness, medium acidity, and tannins, accompanied by a medium body and flavor intensity. Bursting with flavors of blackberry, plum, wet stone, nutmeg, coconut, and tobacco leaf, each sip unveils layers of depth and nuance. The finish, of medium length, leaves a lingering impression, compelling you to savor every last drop. Immerse yourself in the allure of the Tin Cross Cabernet Sauvignon—a testament to the craftsmanship and artistry of winemaking.
