2019 Red Wine, Oakville Station

$120 / 750ml

From a legendary vineyard that is farmed by the University of California, Davis, this is a brilliant expression of Oakville terroir. The varietal percentages in this blend change a bit each vintage. We think the Merlot portion of the blend delivers classic juicy ripeness and a lifted sweet fruit flavor. The Cabernet Sauvignon has the backbone and acidity that brings a solid foundation to the blend. The Cabernet Franc offers a complex medley of lush dark berry flavors layer interwoven with notes of dark chocolate and black licorice. Lush and full-bodied in texture, the integrated tannins let you know this is ready now but would cellar well if you have the patience. 343 cases produced.

The Cabernet Sauvignon in this blend comes from two different blocks in the highly acclaimed UC Davis Oakville Station, in the heart of “Cabernet Country”. The North Station is adjacent to the illustrious To Kalon vineyard. The tiny block of Merlot and a small block of Cabernet Franc were planted on the west side of the valley at the base of the Mayacamas in the south station in 1990.
