Colline Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon
Image
Wine Profile: It has been nearly 40 years since we launched a new single vineyard Cabernet, and I felt like the time had come to unveil something special. We've been working with this vineyard for over a decade and source from only the best blocks to compose this wine. It is inky deep purple in color with aromas of black forest fruits, pomegranate, and black raspberry with a hint of toast. The palate is rich and supple with elements of fruit compote, dark chocolate, graphite and cigar box. The textures are bold yet well integrated making it exciting and wonderful now, but it will age elegantly for those that put it away in the cellar. A tiny amount of this wine was made for its inaugural vintage, you don't want to miss this one.
Primary Vineyards: 100% Colline Vineyard, a meticulously farmed site located at 140 feet elevation in the heart of Oakville—one of Napa Valley’s most iconic appellations for Cabernet Sauvignon. The vineyard’s Bale clay loam soils provide exceptional structure and drainage, allowing vines to develop deep root systems and yielding fruit of remarkable intensity. Warm days and cool nights foster optimal ripening, while the low-vigor conditions of the 2021 vintage amplified concentration and complexity. With over a decade of experience working this site, we have crafted a bold yet elegant expression of Oakville terroir.
Life span in a proper cellar 20-30 years.
