2023 Caton Cabernet Collection by Ty Caton Estate Little Hill Cabernet Sauvignon, Moon Mountain District, Sonoma County
There is nothing “little” about this wine with its complex flavor profile and lingering mouthfeel. Aged in the finest, tightly grained French oak barrels, this wine showcases rich tannins and flavors of dark fruit: black cherry and black currants.
Caton Vineyard Notes
When first developing the land with vineyards, a steep hillside off the side of the road on the way up to the upper bench block was found that would be perfect for planting Cabernet Sauvignon. As much brush as possible from the plot was cleared until it was too steep and rocky to continue, finishing with a 1.35 acre vineyard, which today we call Little Hill. The soils are described as white volcanic ash, shallow and lacking in fertility. This leaves an environment ideal for producing a rich, concentrated world-class wine.
2023 Vintage Notes
The 2023 growing season was marked by a long, cool spring with plenty of rainfall. The wet weather and cool temps delayed bloom dates and pushed back the harvest timeline. A mild summer led to longer hang times and results of larger, healthier grape clusters making this 2023 season a robust and high-quality harvest.

I am literally drinking Ty Caton wine as I write this. That probably influences my views. But Ty’s wines have never let me down. They always impress.
I need more wine like I need a hole in my head, but the Little Hill Cabernet is about as good as it gets. I don’t need it but I’m going to order some anyway.
How much more are you saving by buying a full case?

Friday Black Tie Deal!
My casemate mentioned that he was drinking a Ty’s Red yesterday evening. I expect early communication. Don’t hesitate…this is likely to be a sellout.
The Summer Hold says it will ship between 10/4 and 10/16. We will be on vacation returning 10/13. Is there anyway to way to have the shipping near the end of the window? We love TY Canton.
@free2day33611 useless info as always from me…and who knows when it will really ship…but if it ships 10/4 it’s probably 4 days to FL, it is usually 4 or 5 days in transit to me in SC… redirect to a UPS Store, they will hold for 7 calendar days, at least mine does
