Cuvée L’Etrier, our Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is sourced from the cooler Conn Valley in the foothills of Howell Mountain.

The 2006 vintage exhibits an opaque ruby purple color along with a wonderful perfume of fragrant roses, Meyer lemon blossoms, cassis and a sweet blend of red and blue berries. Opulent, still elegant and well-balanced palate, red juicy cherries, huckleberries and blackberries with a touch of pink grapefruit and candied orange peel finishing with hints of cedar, cigar box as well as espresso roast, with velvety tannins, it reveals impressive purity and texture in addition to a full-bodied rich finish.

The nose of our 2005 vintage is extraordinary, with notes of cedar, graphite, tobacco leaf and spice, crème de cassis with blackberries warmed on a summer's day and dipped in milk chocolate. It is full-bodied with deliciously soft tannins and pure, rich, concentrated flavors. This wine has perfect balance and purity, a texture on the palate that has to be “felt” to be believed, and a lingering finish.
