2017 Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley
Our one-of-a-kind wine is the fourth vintage released from this new label by Joe Wagner. Composed of 100 percent Cabernet Sauvignon, the fruit was sourced from the Calistoga, Coombsville, Howell Mountain, Oakville and St. Helena nested appellations. All grapes were picked at optimal ripeness and kept separate by vineyard, before extended maceration. Malolactic fermentation occurred in French oak (70 percent new, 30 percent seasoned), and the wine was racked every four to six months before bottling.
