The Vice Cabernet Sauvignon Oak Knoll District Batch #205 “The Hostage” 2023

Aromas of cassis, plum and earth complemented by subtle hints of sage and oak spice. Medium bodied on the palate with smooth, integrated tannins and bright, lively acidity, allowing the ripe dark fruit to shine without being heavy. Soft notes of cedar, tobacco, and savory herbs add complexity, leading to a lingering, refined finish. Old world style Cabernet that is enjoyable now, yet will act like Left Bank Bordeaux with the time in the cellar.

A Napa Green Certified vineyard located at south eastern edge of Oak Knoll District of Napa Valley. A perfect micro-climate, not too hot and not too cold allows exceptional fruit development and Cabernet with bright character and elegance. 

Perfect conditions from the start of the growing season to its finish. A wet winter with consistent rain got us out of the extreme drought. A perfect spring and a mild summer let us harvest later than usual, on November 1st. 

• Sustainably grown fruit with minimal winemaking intervention. 

• 100% Unfiltered and Un-fined Cabernet Sauvignon. 
• 24 months of aging in 10 French Oak Barrels (33% new)
