About the wine
Our 2016 Calistoga Cabernet Sauvignon opens with a bouquet of boysenberry, huckleberry and a note of soft spice. Plush flavors of fresh baked berry pie and allspice spread across the palate and are balanced by cocoa and a touch of vanilla. This is a structured wine with sweet tannins and a lovely finish – a true expression of Cabernet Sauvignon and its terroir.
After hand-harvesting on October 4, the grapes were fermented on the skins for an average of 49 days with native fermentation. The wine was gently pressed, racked and aged for 19 months in 32% new Saury French oak barrels. The wine was bottled unfined and unfiltered on July 12, 2021.
