The magic of Napa meets boxed wine
Single-Vineyard
Harvested on Oct 24, 2019, our Napa Reserve is 100% single-vineyard from the Knollwood Vineyard in the Oak Knoll District, fondly called Napa's "Sweet Spot."
Organic Grapes
California Certified Organic Farmers (CCOF) and Napa Green Organic Vineyard, owned and managed by a well-respected, historic Napa winemaking family.
Aged to Perfection
Over the 4 years since harvest, our Cabernet Sauvignon aged 26 months in French oak barrels. Integrating 33% new oak with neutral barrels, the result is depth and complexity in the finished wine.
Tasting Characteristics
Full-bodied and elegant from nose to finish. On the palate, a silky texture from well-integrated tannins and lush fruit notes of black currant lead to a lingering balance of clove and vanilla.
$400+ Value per Box
Equivalent single-vineyard wines from the Knollwood Vineyard retail for over $100 per bottle. This means there's $400+ worth of wine in every box.

Fantastic!
Very impressed with the qualify of the wine for a 100% cabernet. I figured we would be savoring this for awhile but the wine was consumed in just over a week.

I need more already!
Just wow. I had my first glass within minutes of getting my shipment and I was blown away. Then I poured a little into a decanter and drank it later. It was perfection! I plan to order many more boxes. It’s a real “treat” to drink wine like this without spending $100 or more.

Well that was delicious.
Outstanding cab. In a format that allows me to sip a glass or two each day.

Climate
Moderate to cool, with marine air and fog often remaining until late morning; afternoon breezes maintain slightly cooler temperatures than in the upper valley; summer temperatures may reach low 90s, and drop to the 50s at night.
Terrain & Soil
Generally made of sand, gravel, and clay over a rock base layer, Oak Knoll District vineyards are porous and drain well. This forces vineyard roots to extend deep into the ground in search of water, stressing the vines and leading to bold, concentrated fruit.
Soil in the northern part of the AVA near the hills, where our wine is sourced, retains heat quite well, ripening full bodied red varietals. Budbreak occurs earlier on these warmer soils, resulting in a longer growing season and more time for grapes to develop.
Primary Varietals
Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc
Elevation
Sea-level to 800 feet
