Description

Grgich Hills Estate, Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley 2003

Napa Valley


Highlights:

2003 marks the first vintage that our Cabernet Sauvignon is estate grown - meaning we control everything from the vineyard to the bottle. Our Yountville vineyard forms the backbone of our Napa Valley blend.

 

The Cabernet is sourced from the Inglenook clone on St. George rootstock. Primarily dry farmed, these vines have pushed their roots deep into the rocky soil, which provides excellent drainage and creates intensely-flavored grapes.

 

By blending wine from our Yountville vineyard with small amounts from our Rutherford and Calistoga vineyards, which are all farmed organically, we create a complex Cabernet Sauvignon with a distinctive personality.

 

Wine Facts:

• This wine is 100% estate grown and bottled

• Wine is unfiltered
