Description
100% Cabernet Sauvignon from the highest point of our estate vineyard is our offering for Premiere Napa Valley 2012. Every year, the top of Block 4 supplies the core wine to our 1886 Cabernet, and this wine is assembled from a barrel selection from that lot. This is a particularly spicy and complex, full-bodied Cabernet with rich, velvety tannins, and a structure and balance befitting the best of our Ehlers Lane terroir.

Winemaker, Ehlers Estate
I have been the winemaker at Ehlers Estate, responsible for all grape growing and winemaking, since the start of 2009. After internships at Domaine Carneros and Chateau Petrus, I joined the winemaking team at Stags' Leap Winery. In 2003 I was recruited by Tony Soter to serve as his winemaker and director of operations at Etude Wines. Two years later I was asked back to Stags' Leap to take over as head winemaker, where I enjoyed an instrumental role in further building the reputation of that historic property. In 2008, when the opportunity to make wines from the magnificent vineyards at Ehlers Estate was presented to me I leapt and never looked back!
