WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
With this bottling of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, Rockerbox Estate Vineyard is the Yin to the Yountville Estate Vineyard’s Yang – coming together in perfect harmony. Sensuous aromatics layer vanilla, marzipan and graphite without overpowering the intensity of jammy boysenberry and raspberry notes. Lush, juicy texture offers perfect balance to the chewy tannins that follow through the finish.
TASTING NOTES:
Very ripe, lush flavors of dried cherries and late-picked plums mingle with dark chocolate and espresso accents in this full-bodied, firmly tannic wine as it saturates the palate. The wine is robust and concentrated. Decant and drink now, but it will be better from 2026.
- Wine Enthusiast, 92 pts.
Spiced dark berries, crushed walnuts, licorice, bark and hints of forest floor. Medium- to full-bodied, firm and textured with tight-grained tannins and a lingering, earthy aftertaste. Drink or hold.
