From the winery:
Our classic Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon reveals a fragrant, complex bouquet of
ripe blackberry and boysenberry complemented by notes of dark chocolate and toasty
oak. Rich and smooth on the palate, the sumptuous dark fruit is balanced by fresh
acidity and lush tannins with a lingering, elegant finish and a hint minerality. Enjoy this
wine now, with everything from filet mignon to fire-roasted portobello mushrooms—or
lay the wine down and watch it continue to develop complexity in the bottle for years to
come.
We hand harvested grapes during the cool night hours to ensure the fruit retained
freshness, purity, and natural acidity. Clusters were hand-sorted and destemmed.
Partial crush gave us optimum extraction of color, flavor, and tannin from the grape
skins. Prior to fermentation, grapes underwent a “cold soak,” which softens the grape
skins and further helps extract color and tannin. The wine aged in French oak barrels
(50% new) for 17 months, then our winemaker blended the diverse components to add
layers of complexity to the wine.
