Tonella Vineyard Block 10B
2017 Cabernet Sauvignon
Rutherford
This one-of-a-kind wine is from a particular block in our Tonella Vineyard in the Rutherford nested appellation. Vines in this vineyard are grown on the rare Healy Clone, not often used in Napa Valley, which expresses a signature chocolate character in this wine.
