Primarily Cabernet Sauvignon, the fruit from this vineyard is some of the most sought after in the Napa Valley.

Winemaking Notes
Release Notes:
Aromas open with deep black fruits, hints of mocha, and flinty minerality. On the palate, this full-bodied wine shows focused flavors of cassis, wild blackberries, and dark plums accented by black olive and dusty earth. Framed by firm but refined tannins, this wine displays the power and elegance that is so characteristic of this vineyard.
