Highlights
- 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, selected from the finest lots of our Meadowrock Estate Vineyard

Description
Sourced from our Meadowrock Estate Vineyard, our 2018 Premiere Napa Valley Winemakers Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon represents the most treasured lots from our 2018 vintage, harvested from our estate vineyard. The altitude of our mountain site, the climate and the red volcanic soil of the Meadowrock Estate Vineyard all play a part in developing our fully ripe Cabernet Sauvignon, capable of the power and elegance for which Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is world famous. Rich, dark fruit integrates with the spice nuances of French oak, supported by fully ripened tannins, which provide this wine with a full-bodied mouthfeel and excellent ability to age for 10-plus years.
