2017 Red Wine
Oakville
Our unique Premiere Napa Valley wine was created from exquisite fruit from the Oakville Station, part of the most historic vineyard in the Oakville nested appellation, once owned by Hamilton W. Crabb. By blending our Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Malbec, our wines represent the pinnacle of meticulously handcrafted wines. As a small winery, our attention to detail can’t be surpassed. We age our wine for up to 36 months in custom-made, handcrafted French oak barrels. Our family story and winemaking process are incredibly unique.
