Winemaker Notes
FAITH VINEYARD RUTHERFORD: The Faith Vineyard is a valley floor vineyard that is perfect for Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. Rutherford is located just North of Oakville, in the heart of the Napa Valley. A very warm climate moderated by cooling Bay Area fog, it reaches 6 square miles from the Mayacamas to the Vaca Mountains, giving the most ideal number of diurnal temperatures for its grapes. With volcanic soils, these grapes have to struggle to grow, producing less grapes per vine, but very intense, powerful, beautiful berries.
TASTING NOTES: Nicely integrated oak and spice, cherry and rose petal, Lush, dark, rich, good acid, bright, spice, nice lively fruit. This is a food wine with bright acidity and soft tannins. Deep purple-black colored, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon rolls out of the glass ready for business with hefty notes of crushed rose petal, ripe cherry, blackcurrants, and hints of tar and leather followed by wild spice.
