Napa Valley 2020

Cabernet Sauvignon

Napa Valley

$39.20 CLUB

With this bottling, the rich and concentrated characteristics of Yountville Ranch Vineyard are balanced by Rockerbox Vineyard’s bright juicy fruit and floral aspects. Intense aromas of dark chocolate, ripe black cherry, and cinnamon will draw you in, further leading to a dense palate of black currant, tobacco, and pomegranate. Big chewy tannins make for a long finish that lingers on the palate.

Harvest Notes

Napa Valley’s warm, dry winter didn’t begin to see rain and cold weather until the end of March
A mild spring season lent to an early bud break, and Summer brought both very cool mornings and warm days
Crafted from fruit grown entirely from our estate vineyards within the Yountville and Calistoga AVAs
