Description
For this inaugural release for Premiere Napa Valley, winemaker Philippe Melka created an extraordinary barrel of Cabernet Sauvignon on behalf of Mike Moone and MaryAnn Tsai. The fruit for this remarkable blend came from the famed Caldwell Vineyards, where some of the best Cabernet fruit has been farmed for decades. Sitting atop an expansive panoramic hillside at 500 feet, the sloping vineyard is planted in shallow rocky soil laced with volcanic ash, making this an ideal place for growing high-quality Cabernet Sauvignon. This powerful yet elegant barrel truly represents the vineyard's purest expression of fruit.
