"The ultimate expression of a privileged microclimate: power, elegance, and the unique distinction of an artisanal selection in the heart of Napa."
The Gold Standard of St. Helena
This Cabernet Sauvignon represents the culmination of the work at Anderson Conn Valley.

The wine undergoes an aging process of up to 14 months in French oak, resulting in a label that embodies the perfect balance: the strength of the California sun contained by a sophisticated tannic structure and a freshness that ensures impeccable aging in the cellar.
