Description
Experience the power and elegance of Napa Valley’s northernmost frontier. Born from a historic, ultra-extended growing season, this 100% Cabernet Sauvignon masterfully captures Calistoga’s bold signature structure and dramatic volcanic terroir.
The Terroir & Craft
Grown in the well-drained, mineral-rich volcanic soils of the Calistoga AVA, these vines endure intense daytime heat balanced by crisp, cool nights. This dramatic temperature swing preserves natural freshness while developing incredibly deep, concentrated fruit flavors. Harvested in the cool morning hours and gently fermented—including a 10% whole-cluster portion to elevate earth and spice notes—the wine was crafted using only pristine free-run juice and aged for 20 months in 60% new French oak.
Tasting Notes
- Aromas: Bold cassis, blackberry, and warm cedar framed by baking spice and vanilla.
- Palate: Decadent layers of black cherry, ripe blackberry, and blueberry with a smooth kiss of vanilla.
- Structure: Full-bodied and magnificent, featuring plush, velvety soft tannins, balanced acidity, and a stunningly long, resonant finish.
