Fermented in stainless steel tanks, aged for 18 months in 85% French barrels (15% new barrels) and 15% American barrels (100% new barrels). The wine's own vineyards on the west floor of Oak Knoll produce well-balanced fruit due to the cool mornings and evenings and the sunlight during the day. In addition, grapes with different characteristics are sourced from several locations in Napa Valley. The wine has a vivid aroma of fresh blueberries, and the black-purple berries, one of the characteristics of Cabernet, such as blackcurrant and plum, are impressive. The firm, rich fruitiness not only has blueberries, but also the distinctive characteristics of Cabernet, such as cocoa and chocolate, are clearly evident.
Our own vineyards, located at the foot of the mountains on the west side of Oak Knoll, are kept cool in the mornings and evenings and have sunlight during the day, allowing the bright red fruits to condense and produce fruit with a good balance of acidity and tannins (about 60% of the total).
