2020 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon
Renteria 360 Vineyard
OUR STORY
After half a century of farming Napa Valley vineyards, we find ourselves in Oakville, one of the most coveted areas in Napa Valley. Three generations strong our family rose, little by little, from farmworkers to winegrowers with a parcel at the epicenter of iconic Cabernet Sauvignon. We have come full circle to build upon this, our Renteria 360 Vineyard.
OUR WINE
Our estate produces bright and lively wines that are enjoyed by Bordeaux lovers as well as fans of bold California Cab alike. We hand-select fruit from the highest quality blocks of our vineyard to create a wine with deep flavors of tart blackberry & fresh plums with floral aromatics framed by superior acidity for elegance and age-worthiness.
CRAFTING
Harvested from our Renteria 360 Vineyard by our Familia Membership hand-picked fruit from this site was destemmed immediately as it arrived at the winery and fermented for 21 days. then gently gravity fed into new French Oak Barrels to rest for 28 months before bottling unfiltered and unfined.
