Winemaker Notes

This proprietary blend features sourced fruit from some of the best vineyards in Napa Valley. A deep garnet color with depth of aromatics and flavors. Ripe and rich from hillside vineyards on the eastern slopes of Oakville. Blackberry pie and plum-like fruit with dense, concentrated flavor and layers of sweet toasty French oak. Completely mouthcoating and delightful. Cabernet at its best with amazing length and finesse.

About Fantesca WInery

VINEYARD HISTORY

Fantesca’s vineyard was originally planted in the 1860s as part of Caroline Bale’s dowry when she married Charles Krug. It was sold and went dormant sometime between the Phylloxera epidemic of the 1900s and Prohibition in the 1920s. The vineyard returned to its state as a native forest and remained that way for more than 70 years. In 1997, the estate vineyard was replanted to Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot. From its origins with Caroline Bale and through proprietress Susan Hoff and winemaker Heidi Barrett, the property has a proud history of women that live up to the Fantesca namesake: Sexy, Smart, and Unpretentious.
