Maxville Sacrashe Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon

The Sacrashe Vineyard, in the eastern hills above Rutherford, is one of the crown jewels of the Napa Valley with a 20-year history of producing top quality Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. With its distinctive sandy loam soils over composted volcanic ash and location above the valley floor at an elevation of 780 feet, Sacrashe’s low-yielding vines produce grapes of exceptional richness and complexity.  The vineyard’s hilltop location is visible from our Chiles Valley, inspiring us to purchase a small amount of grapes in 2016.

Our 2016 Sacrashe Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is our only non-estate wine.  We produced only 3 barrels of this quintessential, intensely flavored Napa Valley red wine.  24 months in French oak barrels adds additional complexity.
