A single-vineyard Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon from the cool-climate Oak Knoll District, delivering exceptional depth, structure, and elegance.
Rated 94 Points, this limited-production release showcases the precision and balance that define world-class Napa Cabernet.
Winemaking Notes
The Reserve was crafted from three individual estate blocks, all hand-picked and hand-sorted. Malolactic fermentation occurred in French oak barrels, and the wine was aged for 22 months—one-third in new oak and two-thirds in neutral. Final blending was completed two months prior to bottling to ensure harmony, balance, and a refined expression of the estate fruit.
Tasting Notes
Deep ruby in the glass with a dense, opaque core. The nose opens with blackcurrant, ripe blackberry, and dark cherry layered with mocha, graphite, cedar, and subtle baking spice.
On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and structured, showing concentrated cassis, plum, and dark chocolate framed by polished tannins and a refined mineral backbone. French oak adds depth and savory complexity without overpowering the fruit.
The finish is long, balanced, and persistent with lingering notes of cocoa, spice, and crushed violet.
Winemaking & Cellar Craft
This single-vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is crafted from carefully hand-harvested fruit sourced exclusively from the Oak Knoll District estate vineyard. Grapes are sorted by hand at the crush pad to ensure only the highest-quality fruit proceeds to fermentation.
Fermentation is conducted in temperature-controlled tanks with an extended maceration period, allowing for optimal extraction of color, structure, and varietal depth. This careful approach builds the wine’s signature density while preserving balance and freshness.
Aging takes place in French oak barrels, incorporating both new and once-used oak to integrate structure and aromatic complexity without overwhelming the fruit expression. The wine is bottled with minimal intervention to preserve purity, texture, and site expression.
The result is a Cabernet Sauvignon defined by precision, depth, and Oak Knoll’s cool-climate elegance.

Frequently Asked Question
Perfect With…
This Oak Knoll Cabernet Sauvignon pairs beautifully with richly flavored, savory dishes that match its depth and structure. Its polished tannins and dark fruit profile make it an ideal companion to grilled ribeye, filet mignon, braised short ribs, and herb-roasted lamb. It also works exceptionally well with earthy dishes like wild mushroom risotto or truffle pasta, while aged cheeses such as cheddar, Gouda, and Parmigiano-Reggiano bring out its darker fruit and subtle oak spice on the finish.

What the Experts Are Saying
Expert Tasting Notes, Ultimate Wine Challenge
Impressive nose of smoky cassis, pipe tobacco, cedar, vanilla bean, resin, and saddle leather. A chorus of stewed black fruits, sweet spice, vanilla, and oak build on the palate, with pleasing drying tannins to add structure.
Expert Tasting Notes, Ultimate Wine Challenge
Dried black currants, nutmeg, dried tobacco, and cocoa nibs abound on the nose. The palate is rich and structured with blackberry jam, cedar, and sweet spice. The finish is equally rich and jammy with a long, smooth finish.
Expert Tasting Notes, Ultimate Wine Challenge
Freshly sliced bresaola, vine ripe tomatoes, and cassis are sweet and savory aromas. Bold flavors are bright and juicy with blackcurrants and blackberries, dusty cocoa powder, an earthy mineral flare. The big flavors here would do well next to a richly marbled steak.
