Napa Valley

Full

Cork

100% Cabernet Sauvignon from Sugarloaf Vineyard in southern Napa, a rocky, west-facing slope that benefits from cool mornings and long afternoon sunlight throughout the ripening season. The fruit was destemmed directly to tank and macerated for 14 days before the free-run wine was drained and racked to 100% new French oak barrels for 22 months of ageing. An inviting aromatic profile of blackberry, black cherry panna cotta, toasty oak, graphite, and scorched herbs. Full-bodied on the palate, with powerfully sculpted tannins and all the same aromatics carrying through with greater density and intensity. Well-balanced, with a firm spine of juicy, crunchy saline-acid tension and a lovely violet-scented finish. Still just a baby, this wine will reward cellaring — a standout from this challenging vintage, benefiting from the cooler down-valley site.
