Description

A single vineyard + 100% Cabernet Sauvignon + three successive great vintages = our 2012 Premiere Napa Valley blend. Each of the 2008, 2009 and 2010 vintages captures the unique phenomenon of soils, season, climate, and farming at our estate vineyard above Calistoga, but it's the blending of their finest qualities that creates a whole greater than its parts. This bottling illistrates a chapter in the life of our vineyard. The blend expresses proportional intensity of these successive growing seasons. Its complexity is enhanaced by the mature flavors of 2008, the developed textures of 2009 and the youthful and luscious mouthfeel of 2010. Whether you call it a trifecta, triple play or triple crown, our "PhenomenNon-Vintage" is a winner!
