2017 Cabernet Sauvignon
Calistoga
Our unique Premiere Napa Valley is comprised of 100 percent estate grown fruit from our Tenma Vineyard - a horizontal hillside - that sits along the foothills of Mount Saint Helena, in the northeast area of Calistoga. Tenma consists of rocky terrain with very sparse topsoil, which is perfect for highlighting our top Cabernet Sauvignon vineyard blocks.
