This 100% Cabernet Sauvignon was sourced from the gravelly loam river bed soils of Beckstoffer Vineyard IV located on the Western side of Saint Helena. This vineyard's newer block of 337 clone Cabernet Sauvignon was fermented with indigenous yeasts and then barrel aged in 90% new French Oak for 19 months to produced a wine with aromas of crème de cassis, spice, and underlying floral components. On the palate this wine displays its balance with round plush tannins that buttress the core of dark cherry, currant, and vanilla that all lead to a long lingering finish. This wine offers the elegance of a Bordeaux with the power of a Napa Valley Cabernet.
