Varietals: 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Malbec, 10% Cabernet Franc
Appellation: Rutherford, Napa Valley
Aging: 19 months in 100% French oak barrels
Fermenting red wine in oak is a labor-intensive process that can only be done on a small scale; the technique integrates the oak at an early stage and imparts a lush, silky texture to the finished wine. “This is exactly why I started Jon Nathaniel. To be able to use production techniques that only make sense on a small scale.” - John Komes Owner of Flora Springs
Fabulist is sourced from Jon Nathaniel’s estate vineyard in the Rutherford appellation of Napa Valley. The dry climate is ideal for Cabernet Sauvignon, and this low-yielding vineyard features well-drained, rocky, bale loam soils that are low in fertility.
