This phenomenal blend combines the lush textures and vibrant fruit of Beckstoffer Vineyard Georges III in Rutherford with the darker fruit and firm structure of Spring Mountain and Howell Mountain fruit. The resulting wine has excellent balance and an explosive mix of cassis, red fruit, chocolate and sweet spice, while retaining the seductive textures and silky tannins from the Georges III component. Spring Mountain provides broad shoulders and blackberry, while Howell Mountain balances the wine with touches of fresh acidity, minerality and cocoa.

Oakville Ranch Vineyard
Oakville, Napa Valley
At 1,000 to 1,400 feet above sea level, the Oakville Ranch Vineyard looks west over Napa Valley. This high elevation and western exposure, in combination with soils of clay over volcanic rock, produce the rich, powerfully structured wines that make the vineyard one of the most sought-after in California for Cabernet Sauvignon.
