WINE DESCRIPTION

The wine showcases a striking nose of boysenberry, cassis, vanilla, dark chocolate, and star anise aromas. On the palate, it's dense, textural, and velvety, exuding jammy ripe berry flavors alongside sweet oak and cola notes. Chewy tannins create a balanced yet powerful wine. It's made from grapes sourced from two Estate vineyards, benefiting from rocky soils and ideal growing conditions. The Calistoga Cabernet and Petit Verdot thrive in a canyon surrounded by Bay Laurel trees, while Yountville provides Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Careful canopy management and individual barrel maturation contribute to the wine's exceptional quality, showcasing the vineyard's impact each vintage.
