Our “Rive Gauche” is a Cabernet Sauvignon-dominant blend to produce my top Napa blend from the 2021 vintage, made in the spirit of gratitude. Rive Gauche translates to Left Bank in French. Referring to the Cabernet heavy, yet largely blended wines produced in that sub-region of Bordeaux, France.
90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Cabernet Franc

Production Notes
20 day fermentation in median sized fermenters. All wine was aged in 60 gallon French barrels for 18 months; 20% New French Oak. Wines were racked every 4 months and assemble a month before bottling.
Production: 392 cases
Tasting Notes
Garnet in color, this fragrant cabernet sauvignon exudes ripe blackberries, bing cherries with hints of black tea. The palate is juicy, packed with fresh berries, dark chocolate and layers of cappuccino and graphite. Elegant and bold the wine is balanced with firm yet elegant tannins. The finish is long and focus with lingering notes of violet.
