2014 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
For more than forty years, our family has been proudly growing grapes in the Napa Valley. We fastidiously select just 3% of the fruit we grow for our own limited-production wines. Since our Napa Valley Cabernet was the first red wine that we produced in 1999, each vintage has occupied a warm place in our hearts. This 100% Cabernet Sauvignon is sourced from three vineyards: Mast Ranch, for its earthy and robust structure, Flat Rock Ranch, for its fruit-forward characteristic and silky structure, and Linda Vista Ranch, for its juicy and vibrant approachability.

Tasting Notes
Opaque ruby color with a tinge of purple introduces developing aromas of blackberry jam, cranberry, and acacia flower. This medium-bodied red wine expresses flavors of ripe black plum, walnut, and cassis on the front of the palate, and is complemented by chewy tannins and juicy cherry on the finish.
Vineyard Notes
42% Mast Ranch, 35% Flat Rock Ranch, 23% Linda Vista Ranch
