District Series 2017

Cabernet Sauvignon

YOUNTVILLE DISTRICT

Napa Valley

$60.00 CLUB

Our Yountville District Cabernet brings to mind freshly picked wild blackberries — a combination of dark, concentrated jammy fruit complemented by a briary peppery character. Powerful, yet beautifully polished. Enjoy this Cabernet with brisket and cornbread or Beef Wellington if you’re feeling decadent.

The Yountville district is close to my heart. Sitting centered in the heart of Napa Valley, it is where the very first grapevines were planted by George Yount and enjoys ideal growing conditions vintage after vintage.
