The grapes for the Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon were sourced from a single vineyard at the corner of Oakville cross road. This knoll-top vineyard is home to mature vines that are expertly maintained in exquisite well-drained, red and orange soil, and are arranged in the optimal layout for sun exposure and grape ripening maturity.

Winemaking
The grapes were fermented on the skins for 26 days with pumpovers twice daily. After fermentation, the wine was gently pressed, racked and aged for 18 months in 45% new French oak barrels. Tightly grained French oak barrels impart their oak to wines slowly for a consistent, well-rounded aging process while yielding subtle oak influences to the Cabernet Sauvignon.
