About the wine
Our Yountville Cabernet Sauvignon opens with tantalizing aromas of Bing cherry and tobacco leaf followed by flavors of vanilla, mulberry, and herbs. With exceptional balance, a silky texture, and structured mouthfeel, this wine makes the perfect pairing to a variety of cuisines.
The grapes were fermented on the skins for 25 days with pump-overs twice daily. After fermentation, the wine was gently pressed, racked and aged for 18 months in French oak barrels, 45% new French Oak. Tightly grained, French oak barrels from forests in the center of France impart their oak on wines slowly for a consistent, well-rounded aging process while yielding subtle oak influences to the Cabernet Sauvignon.
