"100% Cabernet Sauvignon. Oak Knoll District lies at the southern end of Napa Valley where the growing season is longer - cooler in summer than the warmer Upper Valley and drier in winter allowing soils to warm earlier in the spring. The cooler nights and slowly rising daytime temperatures create a naturally long hangtime for fruit to achieve bright acidity, great texture, fruit-forward aromas and elegant flavors. The wine was aged in 100% neutral French oak barrels for 8 months. 1,400 cases produced. Intense dark purple color. A slight anise aroma at first, which then transitions into blueberry, tobacco, and spice. The tannins are round, and mouth filling. The acid is well balanced, enough is there to have this wine age for 10+ years."

The fourth-largest wine producer in the world, led by California. American fine wine is defined by ripe, expressive fruit and a spirit of innovation, with Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon among the most sought-after wines globally.
The world's most planted premium red grape, yielding deeply colored, tannic and structured wines with cassis, cedar and graphite notes. Firm tannins and acidity make it exceptionally age-worthy, whether as a varietal or the backbone of a Bordeaux blend.
