Fruit
95% Cabernet, 3% Petit Verdot, 2% Cabernet Franc 

Vintage
Record setting precipitation delayed bloom and set. The summer months were cool, keeping sugar levels low until September. Indian summer arrived with perfect conditions, allowing for extended hang time, excellent sugar development and balanced acids.

Harvest 
October 1 - November 1
Average Brix: 26.2

Winemaking
The fruit for this wine comes from both our sustainably farmed vineyard in Rutherford and from local Napa Valley vineyards. Each vineyard block was harvested and made into an individual lot representing that block. The wines were pressed off the skins from 10 to 23 days after crushing. Blending generally takes place between January and April of the year following harvest and the wine is aged for 18 months.

Tasting Notes 
Vibrant ripe red fruit aromas, framed by spice, vanilla and tea. Round and supple on the palate, finishing with lengthy, rich cocoa power tannins.
