2016 Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley
This lot has been specially crafted for Premiere Napa Valley from a combination of two of our top barrels: one from the Oakville western benchland and one from Diamond Mountain. Our winemakers, Françoise Peschon and Nigel Kinsman, chose their favorite parcels to blend together and create this unique lot - a precise, elegant and seductive Napa Cabernet.
