Napa Valley Estate Cabernet Sauvignon

The Dollarhide Vineyard is often referred to as a “valley within a valley”, featuring elevations ranging from 600 to 1,100 feet above sea level, seven different soil series, 13 soil variations and unique microclimates.

The Rutherford Estate vineyard surrounds the St Supéry winery on the eastern side of Highway 29, covering just over 50 acres. Located in the heart of Rutherford, the famed “dusty” style of the region permeates the wines with a distinctive character.

Cool morning pick times and a gentle extraction to maintain delicate aromatics. Aged for 20 months in 22% new French oak.

A wet winter and spring allowed excellent water retention going into a somewhat warm and dry summer, providing for consistent and balanced ripening. A notably warm fall provided extended pick times, further allowing for optimal fruit.

Cassis, black plum and dark raspberry aromas combine with anise and subtle vanilla.
