Benchland Select Cabernet Sauvignon

Region: America / California / Napa Valley

This Cabernet Sauvignon is crafted from Oakville and Rutherford grapes grown in prime vineyard sites in the heart of Napa Valley’s gently sloping western benchlands. Here, ideal eastern exposures, mild afternoon temperatures and well-drained soils ensure that fruit ripens slowly and evenly throughout the growing season. The blocks are hand harvested, then separately fermented in stainless steel and matured to guarantee that each vineyard site’s finest attributes are reflected in the final blend. After lot-specific maturation, lots are blended and bottled.
