WINEMAKER'S NOTE
Just beautiful California claret."-Wine Enthusiast
Cinq Cépages ("Five Varieties") is a Bordeaux-style blend consisting of 78% Cabernet Sauvignon,
10% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Franc, 3% Malbec, and 2% Petit Verdot. Each component is aged separately for two years in small French oak barrels (56% new) before blending. Once the wine is assembled, it spends six months in the
bottle before release.
Fruit for this Cabernet Sauvignon was selected from the finest Bordeaux variety vineyards in Sonoma County...
