"The art of the blend" - the depth and richness of cabernet sauvignon with the structure and spice of cabernet franc and the smooth elegance of merlot.
It is a celebration of the depth that can be attained with Cabernet Franc in Oak Knoll District.
2015 remained a relatively dry growing season, and the crop yields across our different vineyards was generally lower than normal. The fruit displayed great purity and intensity, which was translated quite well through to the finished wines. The growing season was relatively consistent, with no major heat spikes. In general, the wines from 2015 are displaying ripe fruit, great structure and balance.
(MAGNUM) This Cabernet Sauvignon from the Tietjen Vineyard in Rutherford offers fantastic aromas of rich, ripe, red berry fruit with undertones of sweet vanillin oak and hints of caramel. On the palate, the wine is massive, with a wonderful core of fruit on the full mid-palate. The balance of the wine from front to back is impeccable. The finish is long and carries the fruit beautifully.
(MAGNUM) Our Corley “Yewell Vineyard” shows off the tremendous intensity from this vineyard. This 100% Single Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is a full, rich, complete wine. Boasting a complex range of red and dark fruits, the wine also shows roasted nuts, coffee and toasty oak. This full bodied wine should age effortlessly for many years to come.
