Phase Five: Loving Life!
2017 Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley
Our unique wine "Phase Five: Loving Life!" crafted just for Premiere Napa Valley refers to the enjoyment of life’s hard work - putting everything we have into vineyard development, new technology and new experiments in the drive for the highest quality winemaking and then getting to share it with the world. This wine is crafted from fruit from the finest rows of our vineyards, hand selected by Philippe Melka. "Phase Five: Loving Life!" is an incredibly rich and luxurious wine, exhibiting the terroir and true potential unique to this historic property. The wine is aged deep in our caves for two years, behind forged steel doors accessible only by biometric hand scanner.
