$91.20 CLUB

A Magnum Bottling of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Equivalent to 2 bottles / 10 glasses

With this bottling of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, Rockerbox Vineyard plays the Yin to Yountville Ranch’s Yang – while our Hopper House Vineyard fills the middle range.

Sensuous aromatics layer vanilla and marzipan without overpowering the intensity of jammy boysenberry and raspberry notes. Lush, juicy texture offers perfect balance to the chewy tannins that follow through the finish.
