Description
From one of Napa Valley's smallest ultra-boutique producers comes a truly singular Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon--bold, powerful, and aged for 36 months in new, tight-grain Tonnellerie Leroi French oak. Sourced from Oakville Station, which sits within the famed To Kalon Vineyard, this micro-production wine reflects an obsession with detail: hand punchdowns, gravity-flow movement, and artisan craftsmanship at every step. With less than 300 cases produced annually, Spoto Family Wines channels Oakville's iconic character into a richly expressive, intensely focused Cabernet that embodies rarity, precision, and the deepest commitment to quality. A remarkable experience for the true collector.
