2008 Growing Season
The 2008 vintage offered a long cool growing season with moderate temperatures and a very dry winter. The drought like conditions helped regulate berry size and thus we ended up with smaller than average clusters and berries. As winemakers we love this because smaller berries means more concentration. Harvest for our Cabernet officially started in mid October and after a long superb growing season we had another stellar vintage in the winery.

Winemaker Notes:
Calistoga is one of the warmest regions in the Napa Valley and ideal for growing Cabernet Sauvignon. Our Cabernet comes from Barlow vineyards which is located just south of Calistoga. Aromatically the wine offers ripe black cherry with hints of sweet vanilla. The palate is soft and luscious with flavors of dark plum and blackberry, finishing with soft supple tannins.
