Highlights
- Kenefick Ranch’s vineyard sits squarely on the east side of the Calistoga nested appellation
- Almost completely of volcanic origin, these rocky loam soils are ideal for Cabernet Sauvignon
- This area has the most extreme diurnal swing in Napa Valley, providing highly balanced fruit
- The 2017 vintage gave us the opportunity to pick exactly what we wanted at perfect ripeness and ideal hangtime
Description
A 50/50 blend of our finest clone selection on the property from our two best vineyard sites. Clone 15 provides the backbone and structure from the blocks directly behind Dr. Kenefick's home, and Clone 337 is one of the oldest blocks on the property, giving this wine its bold, fruit-driven balance. The 2017 vintage gave us the opportunity to pick exactly what we wanted at perfect ripeness and ideal hangtime.
