Renteria Wines
Cabernet Sauvignon
Stags Leap District
5 cases produced
Description
Our one-of-a-kind lot hails from the Stags Leap District, with fruit coming from the now-sold Steltzner vineyard on the Silverado Trail. Only four barrels were produced after harvesting from the best spot of this dry-farmed vineyard, planted in 1996 along the river. The wine was barrel fermented in 100% French oak, and our Premiere Napa Valley offering will be bottled from the best of the four barrels. The Stags Leap District characteristics shine in this wine, with a soft plush texture and big tannins in the finish accompanied by layers of dark stone fruit aromas and flavors.
