WINEMAKER’S NOTES:
The wine spent an average of 25 days on skins, then was aged for 18 months in 30% new French oak (mostly Demptos, Saury, Seguin Moreau, Nadalie). The balance was aged in once and twice-used French oak. The final blend includes small amounts of Petit Verdot and Petite Sirah for added depth and complexity. The wine was bottled unfiltered contributing greater texture and presence to the mid palate.
Our 2013 Reserve Selection Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon opens with tantalizing aromas of plum, cedar, dust, and earth. Dark chocolate and blackberry flavors envelop the palate and are supported by bright acidity, integrated tannins, and a satisfyingly long finish. Enjoy this wine over the next 5-8 years.
