Tasting note
A bold, dense Napa Cabernet displaying all of the valley's trademark Cabernet characteristics: ripe plum, cassis and black cherry fruit, well-integrated oak, and a long, well-rounded finish.
Viticulture
A significant portion of the grapes are from the Oak Knoll District of Napa Valley which is known to give Cabernet richness and depth of flavor without overwhelming tannins. Significant percentages of the blend also come from vineyards located in Pope Valley and Rutherford which help to give the blend roundness and softness.
Vinification
Malolactic fermentation finishes within a few months of the wine going to barrel, and the wine continues to age for the planned 18 months of maturation time. The barrels are racked twice during this aging time, which helps to clarify the wine. The wine lots are finally blended a few weeks before bottling.
