2018 SHALE

CABERNET SAUVIGNON

The journey for this Cabernet Sauvignon starts on our famed Stags Ridge Vineyard 1,400 ft atop Napa Valley on Atlas Peak. The volcanic soils stress the grapes, forcing them to work hard to grow, but resulting in exceptional flavors. Once hand harvested at night, grapes are brought to our winery seven miles down the mountain to be pressed and aged in the finest French oak barrels.
