VINEYARDS
We believe great wines are made in the vineyard and are commited to farming sustainably and naturally to preserve these properties for the long term. We are certified organic at our Rutherford vineyard. In 2019, all six of our estate vineyards were certified Fish Friendly Farming as part of our ongoing commitment to sustainability.
VINTAGE
The 2022 Napa Valley vintage is described as “the tale of two harvests,” marked by unique weather challenges. The red wine harvests began in quick succession, with triple-digit September heat followed by rain halting the frantic pace. Grapes left to hang through October benefited from mild weather, achieving optimal ripeness. Winemakers praise
the vintage for its diversity, with red wines featuring deep color, luxurious tannins, and fruit-forward aromatics, showcasing Napa Valley’s signature range from vibrant to powerful.
TASTING
Our 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon opens with inviting aromas of cedar and bramble berry, complemented by subtle notes of Bing cherry. On the palate, it reveals vibrant red fruit flavors, with a warm, lingering finish that adds depth and elegance. This wine beautifully balances bold character with a velvety texture, leaving a lasting impression of refined complexity.
