Racy and saturated with hints of blackberry pie and forest floor, the 2019 vintage wears the mantle of Napa Valley at its core with the best of Oakville’s high tone personality. Youthful and luminous we love the bold fruit accentuated by juicy and round tannins. Bright and lovely, It can be admired while young but will enjoy a long life with further cellaring. The concentration of inviting flavors and graceful balance is a direct reflection of a wonderful growing season. California Certified Organic Farming. 2019 Growing Season | Impressive rainfall in May with cool spring temperatures influenced the entire viticultural season with wet fields and gorgeous stands of cover crop carpeting the valley floor and hillsides | Vines responded with ample green growth requiring handwork to sucker and balance each vine before bloom in late May | A stretch of elevated daytime temperatures in August accelerated ripening and challenged earlier harvest projections| We handpicked and received Cabernet Sauvignon on October 4th and Cabernet Franc on the 15th | Overall a fantastic season where we experienced the finest attributes of spring weather resulting in the arrival of fruit in October ideal in both its quality and quantity.
