Napa Valley, California, USA
The first vintage SH produced a Cabernet Sauvignon and it is rare to find a Napa Cab that is made in this Bordeaux style any more. 13.5% abv and very lean with beautiful red fruit on the nose and finish. Started to exhibit some secondary earth notes of forest floor and wet stone but a very enjoyable bottle and well worth the wait. Picked up right after bottling during our visit to the property. Kind of wish more Napa Cabs still had this style as you can have a couple of bottles and still function the next day...

Vines planted in 2004. Old-style Napa Cab Sav. Wonderful nose 👃 of black earthing raspberry compote. Medium bodied. Silky with moderate tannin and well-integrated acidity and red fruit notes. Wonderful!

MY first time tasting this and it is in line with the style of their whites with pronounced acidity and bright red fruits.

Feb 17th, 2018Big fan. Nice and balances mountain cab, uncharacteristically light / reddish fruits for a Napa Cab. Medium bodied.

May 14th, 2016From a few nights ago... I know it was too young, but it's a really great wine all around. Will have to wait to open the others.
