Description

For thirty years my family has farmed grapes in the Napa Valley and for the last six I have always lost one, two or three of my Airedale Terriers while walking our St. Helena vineyard. They always come back, sometimes within minutes, sometimes hours. But with tongues hanging and sporting unique aromas. In the winter, muddy. In the summer, covered in burs. But never with the jack rabbit they were hell-bent on catching. This jailbreak occurs in a particular block of our Cabernet Sauvignon Vineyard planted to Clones See and 337 (the backbone of our heavier Cabs). Lost Dog is sourced from this vineyard block, and is made in honor of the unexpected "chase" and where it can sometimes lead you.

Aging Process
