Description
This one-of-a-kind wine honors the shared legacy of our two historic estates and captures momentum in motion. Anchored by 85% Cabernet Sauvignon from the Dean York Vineyard in St. Helena and complemented by 15% Cabernet Franc from the hillside Brookshire Vineyard in Knights Valley, it unites the plush richness of St. Helena with the mineral-driven edge of Knights Valley, creating a dynamic interplay of depth, tension, and energy. Aged for 20 months in French oak, this wine delivers depth, precision, and authenticity—an enduring statement of craftsmanship, heritage, and harmony. The result is a confident, modern expression that honors its roots while pushing forward - layered, driven, and unapologetically expressive.
