Our fifth vintage was produced from 97% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Cabernet Franc, and 1% Petit Verdot from the Winston Hill Vineyard, in Rutherford, Napa Valley and was harvested between September 10th – 16th, 2008. The wine was allowed to sit quietly in 100% New French Oak Barrels until July 2011 and has been bottle-aged since then. If there is a single characteristic that we strive for in this wine, it is balance. Our winemaker, Todd Graff, is a genius at creating wines with seamless complexity, and this fourth effort goes a great distance in helping establish that very focus.
