Abundant spring rains, nearly double the annual average, saturated the soil and provided ample water for the growing season. The first signs of budbreak were observed in the vineyard on March 27th; a full 15 days later than usual. This delay led to later bloom and veraison. However, warmer temperatures toward the end of summer accelerated the fruit’s development and maturity.

This classic Napa Valley Cabernet displays perfect ripeness with the character of black cherries and chocolate. Balanced and even, the tannins provide the perfect gentle grip in the finish, that pleasantly coats the palate and lingers in a lasting finish.
