Description
Our "Trois III" wine is an expressive wine with an outstanding pedigree, crafted from three Cabernet Sauvignon vineyards - Stagecoach Vineyard (Pritchard Hill), Yates Family Vineyard (Mount Veeder) and a cherished historic vineyard on the valley floor in the Rutherford nested appellation. A beautifully balanced wine with a solid core of mountain fruit framed nicely by the opulence from valley floor fruit. Delicious now, but built to age gracefully.
