The first vintage SH produced a Cabernet Sauvignon and it is rare to find a Napa Cab that is made in this Bordeaux style any more. 13.5% abv and very lean with beautiful red fruit on the nose and finish. Started to exhibit some secondary earth notes of forest floor and wet stone but a very enjoyable bottle and well worth the wait. Picked up right after bottling during our visit to the property. Kind of wish more Napa Cabs still had this style as you can have a couple of bottles and still function the next day...

2011. Light, lively, and complex. Developing increased gravity as we enter the second hour. Sturdy enough for a grilled ribeye but light enough to enjoy solo. Glad I have one more. 13% abv.

Good weight despite being lighter in alcohol. Good density. Would drink but also cellar.

Vines planted in 2004. Old-style Napa Cab Sav. Wonderful nose 👃 of black earthing raspberry compote. Medium bodied. Silky with moderate tannin and well-integrated acidity and red fruit notes. Wonderful!
