Highlights
- For this 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon, we’ve drawn on our unique ability to produce extremely fine Malbec from Calistoga
- Our Malbec ripens early on western-facing slopes and at a low Brix number, creating a beautiful, fruit-forward, aromatic and balanced wine
- 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Malbec
- Aging for 18 months in 60% new French oak; lighter on the oak to allow the Malbec to shine through
