This prized, complex fruit from the Yountville Appellation is a result of unique geological and meteorological conditions: volcanic soils similar to the adjacent Stags Leap District, but also display ancient coastal deposits, and sedimentary and alluvial soils that provide beneficial stress for our vines. Marine air currents from San Pablo Bay to the south are caught when they reach the “Yountville Mounts,” providing a natural cooling effect that balances warm, sunny days that ripen the rich tannins of our hallmark Cabernet Sauvignon to elegant distinction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"overflow-wrap: break-word;\"\u003eTasting Notes: Bold violet-red color introduces a captivating bouquet of blueberries, tea leaf, and vanilla. This full-bodied wine has flavors of cassis, hazelnut and briary undertones with fresh acidity and chewy tannins on the palate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"overflow-wrap: break-word;\"\u003eReview:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"word-wrap: break-word; line-height: 22.8571px;\"\u003e\"A focused and poised young cabernet with blackberry, blueberry and cherry aromas and flavors.
