$160.00 per bottle
Description:
This is the 4th public release from this vineyard. The history of this clone prior to its arrival on our property, which we inherited through purchase, is being held secret by those who brought it here. It only grows in 2 other vineyards in Napa Valley. We believe so strongly in this clone that we have replanted it in the surrounding areas on this property.
Full-bodied with ripe tannins. An extremely full throttle wine that is massive, intense, exotic and complex. It is filled with pomegranate, black fruit and spice.

Varietal Definition
Cabernet Sauvignon:
Cabernet Sauvignon is the most widely planted and significant among the five dominant varieties in France’s Bordeaux region, as well as the most successful red wine produced in California. Though it was thought to be an ancient variety, recent genetic studies at U.C. Davis have determined that Cabernet Sauvignon is actually the hybrid offspring of Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Franc. Cabernet Sauvignon berries are small with black, thick and very tough skin. This toughness makes the grapes fairly resistant to disease and spoilage and able to withstand some autumn rains with little or no damage. It is a mid to late season ripener. These growth characteristics, along with its flavor appeal have made Cabernet Sauvignon one of the most popular red wine varieties worldwide.
