Detail
Overview: We’re proud to be the custodians to some of the oldest Cabernet Sauvignon vines in the Napa Valley. Our Yountville Cabernet Sauvignon vines were planted in 1959 to the Inglenook clone (also known as Niebaum Cabernet Sauvignon #29) on St. George rootstock. More than a half century old, these vines have developed a root system that reaches deep into the subsoil to access all the available nutrients. They produce fewer grapes at this age but more concentrated, intense flavors that express a greater depth of terroir and complexity. We farm all of our certified organic vineyards naturally, using the principles of regenerative agriculture.Tasting Notes: The wine is elegant and statuesque with aromas of blackberries, ripe blueberries, black currant, cinnamon and caramel. It is an age-worthy, dense and inky wine with surprisingly silky tannins that opens up to reveal more complex notes of red pepper, sandalwood and bay leaf.Pairing: Enjoy this winewith roasted rack of lamb, Wagyu beef and truffled roasted fingerling potatoes.Points: 93, James SucklingFormat / ABV: 750 ml/14.4%In certain circumstances, a specific vintage may not be available.
