Fruit
100% Cabernet Sauvignon from the Bartolucci Vineyard on Dean York Lane in St. Helena

Vineyard
Located at the base of Spring Mountain, this vineyard has been farmed by the Bartolucci family for three generations. With its gravelly soil and warmer micro-climate, this vineyard is ideally suited to growing Cabernet Sauvignon.

Winemaking
The fruit was harvested from September 8th to September 20th,  with an average Brix of 26.5 degrees. The grapes were pressed off the skins 12-20 days after crushing and the wine was aged for 20 months.

Aging 
French oak barrels (50% new wood) 

Tasting Notes
Bold fruit, beautifully framed by French oak. Notes of cassis, black cherry and black tea, with red raspberry and allspice on the finish. A highly structured wine that is nicely balanced.
