Vineyards
Our inaugural Napa Valley Cabernet is made from grapes selected from some of our favorite Napa Valley
vineyards. The Napa Valley is long and diverse
with many different soils and microclimates.
Harvest
& Winemaking
The first element was harvested on September 26
th
and the last on October 20
th
.
At the heart of this wine is
some of our finest Oakville fruit,
offering rich texture and bright fruit flavors
. Another important
element is
the Clone 6 Calistoga Cabernet grown at the northern end of the valley, offering a counterpoint of more
savory, earthy flavors.
Fruit
from eight different vineyards contributed to this blend resulting in a complex
wine with layered flavors. The wine spent 20 months in barrel gently evolving and softening before being
bottled.
