WINE DESCRIPTION
Crafted from a single vineyard block on Atlas Peak, this Cabernet Sauvignon benefits from the high altitude, excellent exposure, and gravelly soils. Winemaker Nick Goldschmidt prioritizes a slow grape ripening process, utilizing temperature-controlled stainless steel for fermentation. The resulting 100% Cabernet Sauvignon is aged for 15 months in 100% French oak, promising exceptional value. Goldschmidt focuses on Cabernet Sauvignon from two prestigious Northern California vineyards: Yoeman Vineyard in Alexander Valley and Game Ranch Vineyard along the Silverado Trail. Both exemplify the peak expressions of Cabernet Sauvignon from their respective regions, delivering a superb and noteworthy wine.
