Winemaker Notes

The 2023 parched. Cabernet Sauvignon is a Bordeaux blend consisting of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Cabernet Franc, and 4% Petit Verdot. The fruit for this wine is sourced throughout the Napa Valley with a good mix of mountain fruit along with valley floor fruit. The wine exhibits a dark, inky red color, with notes of black berry and cassis on the nose. Layered well with spice and toasty oak, this medium to full bodied wine will be quite pleasant from the start but will reward short term cellaring.

Harvest Notes

The 2023 growing season was a sharp contrast to 2022. The typical spring and summer heat never fully developed, and while the vines remained healthy, they were slower to mature. As a result, we were about two weeks behind the usual schedule. However, the weather during harvest was ideal. With a late bud break and consistent growing conditions, the fruit reached full maturity and was harvested at night between October 5th and October 25th.
