WINEMAKER NOTES

2018 was a dream growing season and harvest for Napa Valley. An abundance of rain in February was followed by continuous days of sunshine and mild temperatures that made for uniform vines and even cluster growth. Cooler temperatures allowed us to pick when we wanted, without stress and under optimal conditions. The gift from Mother Nature translated to wines that not only have great concentration but also an amazing freshness.

ON THE NOSE:  Boysenberries, kirsch, dark chocolates, blueberries, granular rock 

ON THE PALATE: Savory blackberry fruit, maraschino cherry, fennel, graphite

ABOUT THE VINEYARDS: The 2018 Signature Series Juliet Cabernet Sauvignon is Atlas Peak through and through. The rugged vineyard sits above the fog line on the western slopes of the Vaca Mountains and stretches to 2,500 feet in elevation. Influenced by the mountains, temperatures here average 10 degrees cooler than in the Stags Leap District. The volcanic soil characterizes the uniqueness of this crafted wine with impressive texture and density and that is as lush in style.

BLEND: 98% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2%  Petit Verdot
