The Far Blocks
2019 Cabernet Sauvignon
Howell Mountain
Your Premiere Napa Valley lot hails from pure, white volcanic tufa soils that make our Candlestick Ridge Vineyard one of the premier spots to grow Cabernet Sauvignon in the world. At 2,300 feet of elevation, the cooler climate of the vineyard allows for robust structure and prolonged hang time in the tiny clusters. The Far Blocks is sourced from the oldest vines on this spectacular 26-acre vineyard.

Winemaking Philosophy:
My philosophy in winemaking is predominantly to let the vineyards appear in the wines that we produce. That means supreme attention in the vineyards along with minimal intervention in the winery. Great wines should be balanced, ageworthy and site specific.
