Description
This rare expression of Napa Valley winemaking is one of only 120 bottles that will ever be made. Think of it as a bit of Napa Valley history in your cellar and celebrated in a glass with friends and family. Your 100% Cabernet Sauvignon Premiere Napa Valley wine is from Sequoia Grove’s treasured Christian Vineyard in the exciting nested Coombsville appellation, with vines lovingly tended by the Christian family. Grown in poor soil on a low vigor rootstock, the vineyard produces a dearth of small, intense berries that snap with flavor and acidity. The cooler growing region allows for long, slow flavor development which creates a rich, complex, flavorful wine filled with aromas of blackberries, blueberries, and spice.
