Description
This rare expression of Napa Valley winemaking is one of only 60 bottles that will ever be made. Think of it as a bit of Napa Valley history in your cellar and celebrated in a glass with friends and family.
Your Premiere Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon celebrates Etude’s long relationships with some of Napa Valley’s most regarded winegrowers. The fruit was sourced from stand out lots from Vine Hill Ranch in Oakville (an alluvial benchland) and Meteor Vineyard in Coombsville (unique elevation and cooler climate). It was crafted with minimal winemaking intervention and aged in French oak barrels for 20 months. The exclusive synergy between these two distinguished southerly vineyards creates a wine that is rich and powerful, generous in dark, fresh fruit and elegantly textured.
