Sticks & Stones
2018 Cabernet Sauvignon
Oakville
“Sticks & Stones” Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon is from killer old-vine Cabernet Sauvignon hand-picked from a special Oakville block surrounded by Cult Cab vineyards. These rare vines are over 25 years old and live on a boulder-covered site. The name was inspired by these boulders or “stones” that blanket the ground. The canes are the “sticks” that carry this exemplary fruit. The grapes are hand-sorted, and the wine is hand-crafted for a bold but balanced profile.
