Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

The wine's complex aromas of black fruits, rich leather and nuances of violets burst out of the glass. Its full-bodied, rich mouthfeel carries these flavors for a long, lingering finish that loves a good grilled steak, rack of lamb or roasted duck.

Our Yountville vineyard forms the heart of our Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, with grapes fromour Rutherford and Calistoga vineyards rounding out the blend.

We believe in minimal intervention winemaking, fermenting the grapes with indigenouse yeast at moderate temperatures that allow the wine to gain flavors and color from extended skin contact.

Each lot is aged separately for several months and then blended to create a wine that is more complex than the individual parts.  After blending, the wine spent another year-and-a-half in barrel to completely harmonize before bottling.
