Solo
2017 Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley
In 2017, we harvested enough red fruit to produce just eight barrels of Cabernet Sauvignon. Because of this, we have chosen to name this one-of-a-kind wine our "Solo," which truly reflects what this wine represents to the team at Somerston. This wine is 100 percent Cabernet Sauvignon from our estate vineyards in the Vaca Mountains, aged in new French oak barrels for 24 months.
