Planted in the 1950s by André Tchelistcheff, maybe the most celebrated figure in American wine, the Sunbasket Vineyard is a modest-seeming plot only a stone’s throw from Cathy’s barn off Highway 29. Compared to her more tight-fisted Kronos Cabernet Sauvignon, Sunbasket is lush and inviting, it’s wild currant and lilac flavors crystallized by 2016’s unusually chilly nights.
