Our Wolf’s Head Cabernet Sauvignon comes from the Calistoga region located in the northern part of Napa Valley, home to some of the biggest, boldest wines in the Napa region. The vines are planted in a rich volcanic red soil and the high daytime and cool nighttime temperatures provide for intense colors, rich flavors, a touch of acidity, and a ton of tannic structure in the grapes.
Fermented in small format stainless steel tanks. Cold soaked 5 days prior to fermentation. Temperature maintained below 80 degrees and a post ferment extended maceration of an additional 5 days. Malolactic fermentation occurred in barrel with aging on lees for at least a year.
Deep aromas of cassis, blackberry jam, cherries, and old leather. A pal- ate of blackberries, cherries, cassis, and tobacco leaf followed with spicy cedar notes that linger through a long spicy finish Best now through 2030.
