From our estate vineyard surrounding the winery. Planted in 1971 on St. George rootstock, it is one of the last old Cabernet Sauvignon vineyards in the Napa Valley. Its scraggly clusters of tiny berries yield extremely limited quantities of dark, concentrated and aromatic single-vineyard wine that speaks eloquently of place.
Our newest vineyard-designate was purchased in 2015, though we had sourced it for over a quarter-century. It has long contributed a pretty, bright core of cherries and blueberries to our Napa Valley Cabernet. We select this very limited bottling from our favorite barrels.
The Sunbasket Vineyard estate Cabernet Franc is rich and aromatic, with black plums and allspice. Classic Franc pencil-lead aromas play with violet perfume and blueberry fruit in this lovely wine.
