Cabernet Sauvignon lots are blended with Merlot for softness and roundness and Cabernet Franc for tannins and enhanced mouthfeel. Our Napa Valley vineyards add black cherry flavors and superb wine structure. While Sonoma County vineyards impart blackberry, mocha flavors and silky mid-palate.  Artisan winemaking techniques, such as cold soaking and extending maceration were used to enhance and simultaneously soften the tannins, deepen the color and intensify the flavors.
