Winemaker Notes
Oakville Ranch Vineyard dominates the blend of our generous and supple 2016 Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon. Located in the hills among famous neighbors Dalla Valle, Pedregal and Backus vineyards, Oakville Ranch Vineyard sits at 1,400 feet overlooking Napa Valley. The sprinkling of clay over volcanic rocks, high elevation and western exposure combine to produce powerful, rich, structured wines. The lauded 2016 vintage provided ideal weather conditions for the grapes to ripen optimally under the care of esteemed organic viticulturist Phil Coturri. This blend spent nearly four weeks fermenting on skins to ensure that the tannins and fruit flavors were balanced. The resulting wine is rich and vibrant, offering vivid flavors of blackberry, raspberry, cassis and mocha.

Looking first at the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville, it’s a smoking introduction to the estate and reveals a well as tons of mulled blackcurrant fruits interwoven with cedary herbs, dark chocolate, and hints of tobacco. T full-bodied effort that has sweet tannins, a rounded, sexy mouthfeel, and a great finish. It’s a winner to drink a coming 10-15 years. It competes with wines three times the price.

The 2016 Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon sports a deep garnet-purple color and leaps from the glass with exube Black Forest cake and stewed plums notes plus hints of forest floor, menthol and potpourri. Medium to full-bo reveals a harmonious fruit preserves and velvety texture interplay with background freshness and a fragrant fi Brown
