Tasting Notes:
"Covering a mere two and a half acres of gravelly, bench-land soils in Napa Valley’s Oak Knoll District, GnR Vineyard produces low yields of intensely flavored Cabernet Sauvignon. Dark purple hues in the glass hold captivating aromas of black fruits, macerated strawberries, and a tinge of earthiness. The palate intensifies with notes of dried red berries, pluots, and a savory blend of fresh spices. This Cabernet Sauvignon showcases an excellent progression from light to weighty creating an unforgettable sensory experience. Aged for 28 months in 71% new French oak barrels. Only 150 cases produced."

Vintage Notes: 
Mild temperatures created an ideal start to the 2020 growing season, with moderate winter rainfall contributing to an early bud break. The Cabernet Sauvignon crop was marked by small berries with concentrated flavors. Warm summer conditions were buffered by cool mornings heading into the harvest season, promoting evenhanded flavors and structure across our Cabernet Sauvignon estates.
