Tasting NotesThis luxurious Yountville Cabernet Sauvignon displays a dense plum color with a balanced entry, great weight, and lovely length. It bursts with aromas of spiced hot chocolate, cherry cola and loads of black plum and cherry. On the palate, it is incredibly smooth and silky, revealing concentrated flavors of cocoa and licorice with a nice touch of toasty oak.

Wine OriginThis exceptional 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon is from a prized single vineyard in the acclaimed Yountville region of Napa Valley. It features one clone, 43, grown on an historic 140-year-old vineyard site, where well-drained Bale clay loam and Coombs gravelly loam soils help to give this Cabernet its distinctive, terroir-driven character.

Production NotesThe grapes were harvested on October 17, 2019 and all fruit was destemmed and crushed into open-top fermenters. Daily pump-overs during a five-day cold soak released the color and tannin. During fermentation, the grapes were gently punched down twice a day to keep the fermentation temperatures moderate and the fruit healthy for extraction. During an extended maceration we tasted the wine daily until the optimum palate balance and tannin feel were achieved. We then pressed the finished wine off the skins and aged it for 22 months in 60% new French oak barrels and 40% neutral barrels. Bottling occurred on December 9, 2021.
