Abundant winter and spring rains restored vineyard soils, followed by a mild, extended summer that allowed for gradual phenolic development and exceptional balance at harvest.Sourced from a single vineyard in the heart of Rutherford, this Cabernet Sauvignon reflects both site and season with clarity. Hand-terraced rows with southern exposure rise to approximately 400 feet in elevation, rooted in well-drained volcanic and sandstone soils.
