Description

The Kelly Fleming estate vineyard sits deep into the crux of Simmons Canyon, just below the cliffs of the Palisade Mountain range. Afternoon shade and abundant air flow - inherent to the canyon terroir -provide the grapes with a well-deserved cooling respite from the Calistoga heat. Shallow, gravelly soils atop volcanic bedrock allow this 100 percent Cabernet Sauvignon vineyard to showcase its earthy charms in addition to its dark fruit intensity and concentration. Before release, this wine spends 20 months aging in 100 percent new French oak.
