2018 Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve

Made with fruit sourced from among the most iconic of AVAs in the Napa Valley, Rutherford, this Small Block Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon showcases the essence of the Rutherford appellation. The vineyards' well-drained soils including volcanic deposits, and marine sediments offer ripe aromas of black current, blackberry, nutmeg and chocolate. The flavors mirror the aromas with plush round tannins that linger on the palate.

About

RESILIENCE IN THE VINEYARD

Each vintage presents a unique set of conditions, and we approach every year ready to face the challenge. For vintage 2018, budbreak began on schedule at the end of February, and spring brought moderate temperatures that progressed into a warm summer without any disruptive heat spikes. Steady growing conditions continued through Harvest, which began in mid-September for the white varieties. We continued picking our red varieties long into the first weeks of November. With such lengthy hang time, the fruit matured consistently and was picked at its peak, promising exceptional flavor in bottle.
