Description<p>Stylus is the supreme expression of Franciscan’s signature in Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. The engraving on the label presents an aerial perspective of a wine press that symbolizes Franciscan’s commitment to creating exceptional wines in hundreds of small lots and blending them to perfection. Stylus is created from grapes grown in Franciscan's favorite vineyard blocks, including a selection from the Oakville Estate.</p>
