Fidélitas “m100” Cabernet Sauvignon
WHY WE LOVE IT
- Charlie and Will Hoppes, the father-son team behind Fidélitas, have launched a new project in the Columbia Valley, m100.
- With over 35 years of combined experience, they create wines that honor their great-grandmother, Mary Jane, a spirited woman who lived to be 100 years old.
Varietal: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon
Elaboration: Aged 100% in neutral oak.
Tasting Notes: Aromas of blackberry, Bing Cherry, and vanilla bean. The palate is rich and full with polished tannins -strawberry, cedar, and dark chocolate.
