Vineyard Notes:

ERA is a blend of predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon grapes from award winning and historic vineyards throughout the Napa Valley. These vineyards offer distinct qualities and when blended create a beautifully balanced and elegant wine. Each of these vineyards is farmed to yield no more than two tons of fruit per acre with one cluster per shoot resulting in a more intense, flavorful berry. ERA is handcrafted, barrel fermented and is not fined.
