Nestled at the foot of the Palisades in Northern Napa Valley, the 10 acre Lamb Vineyard has been a source of great pride for our family over the past four decades. Named for Juelle's family, the vineyard was planted to Cabernet in 1976 and consistently yields small quantities of fruit that produce wine with a rare combination of rich concentrated flavors, velvet texture and elegance.

(97 Points) The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Lamb Vineyard is a super-classic Calistoga Cabernet built on power and depth. Inky fruit, gravel, smoke, crushed rocks, licorice, spice and lavender infuse the 2018 with tremendous resonance and drive, right from the very first taste. The 2018 marries fruit intensity with richness in grand style. The Lamb is a bit darker and more structured than the Coach Insignia. Don't miss it.  Vinous, Antonio Galloni
