The diverse soils and microclimates, as well as the various clones of Cabernet Sauvignon and cultivation techniques, contributed to this wine's complex flavor profile. The balance of the blend was grown both in our estate vineyards and other quality vineyards of Napa Valley.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eVintage:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWinter was warm and dry, with rain and cooler weather only arriving toward the end of March. A mild spring allowed for a promising early beginning to the season. Summer surprised us with cool mornings and warmer afternoons. As a result, the harvest produced smaller berries with concentrated flavors and remarkable acidity, creating excellent, balanced wines.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlend:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan\u003e81% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Syrah, 5% Malbec, 3% Petite Sirah, 2% Merlot, 2% Petit Verdot\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOak Treatment:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aged 15 months in French and European oak barrels (30% new)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eRatings \u0026amp; Reviews\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e93 Points - Wine Enthusiast:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFocused and brilliant flavors of red and black cherries and black currants drive this sleek and powerful wine, as minty, toasty, and tobacco-like accents stay subtly in the background until the finish.
