2008 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

This is an incredibly balanced wine of ninety-four percent cabernet sauvignon with 4% cabernet franc to lift the aromatics and 2% malbec to round out the pallet. The cabernet sauvignon is roughly two-thirds of the spicy and intense clone 4 which we sourced from a vineyard in the southern area of Napa known as Coombsville. The remaining cabernet sauvignon is the brooding clone 7 cabernet from an incredible site atop Howell Mountain that we've just fallen in love with. A little splash of cabernet franc and malbec round it out. These are incredible vineyards, but we're going to have to keep these little secrets to ourselves.

Our first vintage in the Napa Valley, we were only able to produce less than 100 cases of this wine.
