Highlights

  • This exquisite Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon is a blend of hand-pruned, hand-picked and hand-sorted Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot
  • Two old vine sites on the far eastern and western foothills of the Oakville nested appellation delivered impeccable fruit
  • Barrel maturation in superb new French oak enhances flavor and adds immaculate texture and breadth
  • Unfined and unfiltered, it is a wine to enjoy now for its youthful exuberance or to lay down for a decade or more and watch it blossom

Description

“Sticks & Stones” Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon is from killer old-vine Cabernet Sauvignon hand-picked from a special Oakville block surrounded by Cult Cab vineyards. These rare vines are over 25 years old and live on a boulder-covered site. The name was inspired by these boulders or “stones” that blanket the ground. The canes are the “sticks” that carry this exemplary fruit. The grapes are hand-sorted, and the wine is hand-crafted for a bold but balanced profile.
