The 2016 Ladera Estate Cabernet Sauvignon is sourced exclusively from select vineyard blocks on Howell Mountain and in Calistoga. Each block was selected for its complementary nature, offering differences in clones, soil and micro-climates that when blended together result in a profoundly rich, complex wine with striking aromas and intense fruit expression. While the 2016 season was the fifth consecutive year of drought conditions, lower-than-average yields allowed for slow and steady maturation of the grapes, producing wines with ripe fruit expression and great depth.
