Napa Valley 2021

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, blackberries and mocha will draw you in, further leading to a dense palate of blackberry jam, toasty oak with a lovely briary character. Big chewy tannins make for a long finish that lingers on the palate.

Vineyard & Harvest Notes

  • 99% Estate Grown:
    Yountville Ranch Vineyard (74%), Yountville District, Napa Valley
    Rockerbox Vineyard (25%), Calistoga District, Napa Valley
  • 2021 started with a late bud-break but by harvest things were back on schedule with a moderate growing season free of any extended heat spikes.
  • Our harvest started mid-September but was completed by early October, yielding Cabernet Sauvignon with small berries and packed flavors.
