Cabernet Sauvignon needn't be all power and weight. Blending fruit sourced from the Matthiasson-farmed Bengier Vineyard in Oak Knoll with Rutherford's York Vineyard, this beautifully poised wine is crafted as an earlier-drinking expression of Napa Cabernet. Behind it is Vincent Fritzsche, a supremely talented winemaker running a small, intensely focused operation and producing wines in strictly limited quantities, each one worth seeking out. Elegant rather than imposing, it combines vibrant fruit, savoury complexity and silky tannins, offering a refined style that will appeal as much to Pinot Noir lovers as devoted Cabernet fans. Taste
Fragrant aromas of cassis, redcurrant and wild blackberry mingle with crushed gravel, fresh herbs and earthy loam.
