The grapes for this Premiere Napa Valley wine came from the Buehler hillside Cabernet Sauvignon block that they refer to as Kindly Well. These vines typically offer up just over two tons per acre of small-berried clusters of Cabernet Sauvignon. This vineyard block goes into the final blend of their estate Cabernet Sauvignon, but just a tiny nip of this intense, earthy, refined 100% Cabernet Sauvignon has been reserved for this unique wine, which will spend 22 months in French oak before being bottled.
