From one of the most legendary areas of Napa, this wine brings both the sensational quality of the Napa Valley with the perfect growing conditions of 2009 and combines them into one.

The dark fruit envelopes the palate on the initial sip, while plenty of tannic structure carries through to the finish. This is a beautiful wine that’s ready to drink tonight, but with potential to age for years in the cellar.

Vineyard Notes: Formidable Cabernet Sauvignon is influenced by the vineyard’s positioning on the lower slopes of Spring Mountain. Soils include silty loam and volcanic soils interlaced with black obsidian, with excellent drainage, forcing the cabernet vines to reach deep for their water and nutrients. These soils result in smaller berries with thicker skins, ultimately delivering more concentrated flavors.
