Description

Our Flat Rock Ranch vineyard is located near the northeast corner of Yountville Cross Road. This prized, complex fruit is a result of unique geological and meteorological conditions. Volcanic soils similar to the adjacent Stags Leap District and coastal marine air currents from the San Pablo Bay to the south are caught when they reach the "Yountville Mounts," providing a natural cooling effect. These conditions, along with warm, sunny days, ripen the rich tannins of our hallmark Cabernet Sauvignon to elegant distinction.

Tasting Notes

The dark inky red color completely coats your glass. The aromas of sweet coconut, vanilla bean, and dried currants develop on the tip of your nose and give way to a punch of unsweetened cocoa at the tail end. The inviting palate is medium-plus bodied with developed tannins that trickle off the back of your tongue. With big notes of chocolate covered cherries, jammy blackberry, candied walnuts, and clove. This flagship bottle is a great candidate for your next special occasion.
