From the Stagecoach Vineyard high on the eastern volcanic ridge above Napa, comes this rich and decadent, limited production Cabernet Sauvignon. The vivid red soils and rocky slopes come together to produce a wine with an aroma of sweet blackberry and cassis fruit that carries over into a superbly balanced and polished palate. Surrounded by a refined structure of the finest French oak, this Cabernet Sauvignon drinks well now and boasts the refined tannins that give it strong promise for years to come.
