Description

Grown on a steep hillside above the fog line, this powerful, Cabernet Sauvignon is an exceptional example of the magical combination of decades of meticulous organic farming, a unique mountain site, and principled winemaking. Leslie Rudd had a simple vision in planting our Mt. Veeder vineyard: “The best is good enough.” It’s only fitting that we dedicate this exquisite, bold wine to him.
