Cabernet Sauvignon

Tambor Vineyard
Mt Veeder, Napa Valley
$92.00 CLUB
1 of 6 Barrels

Tambor Vineyard lies at the southern end of Mt Veeder AVA, on a northerly facing slope. Shielded from afternoon heat, these old hillside vines are renowned for low yields and brilliant concentration. Their flavorful fruit reflects Mt. Veeder’s flora, with pretty anise notes, wild violets and brambly boysenberry.

Vineyard & Harvest Notes

  • Mt Veeder AVA, Napa Valley
  • Tambor Vineyard
  • Certification: 100% NAPA GREEN WINERY
  • Clone: Weimer
  • Soils: Bressa-Dibble Complex
  • Harvest date: October 7, 2021
  • The 2021 vintage will be remembered for low yields of intensely-aromatic, flavorful fruit, with a smooth and uneventful harvest season.
  • January and February saw rain, then almost no notable precipitation for flower, bloom and set.
  • Grapes ripened early and evenly during a summer with no heat spikes.

 

During harvest we carefully marked specific rows within this block. And, after barrel aging 28 months in French Oak, we chose just 8 barrels of this remarkable, powerful Cabernet. This release is a true testament to Bryan’s legacy, and I’m thrilled to share it with you.

Mt Veeder AVA

  • Located on the southwest edge of Napa Valley in the Mayacamas Mountains, the climate is cool to moderate, with most vineyards above the fog line.
  • Cooler days and warmer nights than the valley floor; typical mid-summer high temperatures top out at about 85°F (30°C).
  • Shallow, generally well-drained soils with low fertility produce small quantities of intensely flavored fruit.
