Vintner’s Cuvée
2008 Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley
We've come up with the ultimate lot. Between Oscar Renteria, with his talent for choosing the excellent fruit, and our talented winemaker, Karen Culler, putting the magical blend together, we have a one-of-a-kind Premiere Napa Valley lot for you. Our Vintner's Cuvée is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon: a blend of exclusive Stags Leap District and pristine Mount Veeder. This exemplary offering blends two complementary appellations within the Napa Valley. This wine is approachable and elegant, not overly powerful, yet will last for years — a perfect Vintner's Cuvée.
