What to Expect

Cabenet Sauvignon: Originally of French origins, this versatile grape produces exceptional wines around the globe. It's usually medium to full bodied with a fine structure that supports black and red fruit flavors with typical notes of olive, chili and herbs that add complexity.

Winemakers Notes

Harvest: The Cabernet Sauvignon fruit is grown on our Estate controlled
vineyards, in the Oakville AVA, in the heart of the Napa Valley. The Oakville
District is renowned for its Cabernet Sauvignon and produces wines that are full,
lush and very elegant.
Winemaking: Fermentation was carried out over a ten-day period in small,
temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks at an average temperature of 85 F.
After pressing and settling, the wine was transferred to small French oak barrels
for aging. The sweet vanilla character derived from 20 months read more...read more...

in the barrels
blends well with the black cherry and blackberry flavors and aromas of the wine.

Cabernet Sauvignon is big and lush with
huge gobs of fruit in the aroma and flavor. The texture of the wine is soft and
supple, typical of Cabernet Sauvignons grown in our area of the Oakville AVA.
Patience during bottle aging will reward the “steward” with an outstanding bottle
over the next 10 to 15 years.
Menu suggestion: “I enjoy a glass of Oakville Cabernet with a grass-fed,
roasted New York steak and a potato-butternut squash gratin.” Kimball Jones,
Culinary Director.
