Description
This 100% Cabernet Sauvignon is farmed from an amazing little piece of land on the west side of the Oak Knoll District. With its excellent sun exposure and well-drained soils, it consistently results in optimal vine balance.
We selected the best section of our favorite block to make one barrel specifically for this lot. The resulting wine highlights ripe fruit and perfectly balanced acid, hallmarks of Oak Knoll District fruit.
