Vineyard Notes:

Our Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 2017 was handcrafted from fruit grown in premium vineyards that truly express the diversity of terroirs in Napa Valley. This wine showcases flavors from a range of sub-appellations stretching from the mountain slopes of Atlas Peak, Spring Mountain and Howell Mountain to valley floor vineyards in the Coombsville, St. Helena, Oakville and Oak Knoll District AVAs blended together to create the essence of Napa Valley.
