WINE DESCRIPTION

The grapes are sourced from the Helena Montana Vineyard, located in the Knights Valley appellation of Sonoma County, California. The vineyard is situated on the eastern side of the Mayacamas Mountains, at an elevation of 950 feet, which provides ideal growing conditions for Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine is crafted using traditional winemaking techniques, including hand sorting, small-batch fermentation, and aging in French oak barrels. The resulting wine is a full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon with rich flavors of dark fruit, cassis, and chocolate, balanced by firm tannins and a long, smooth finish.
