Our Pedemonte Cellars wines come from the Rutherford Appellation of the Napa Valley. For the last 20 years, our winemakers have tended this prestigious vineyard, meticulously selecting specific rows in separate blocks, and then cultivating each differently to encourage the best from each wine. Our wine has been nurtured from the vine to the bottle by the same caring hands, and we strive to let each vintage be an expression of the exceptional Rutherford fruit from which it derives.

Tasting Notes:
This cabernet is a classic example of the “Rutherford dust” character that is so easily lost with aggressive winemaking.
Initial burst of ripe boysenberry and dark currant fruit that is supported by subtle tannic back bone. The elegant, supple and balanced structure allows the top fruit to flow through to a long and pleasing finish. Very drinkable now and will do well for another 8-10 years. Only 360 cases made.

Vineyards:
Our fruit comes from the beautiful Round Pond Estate vineyards. Each row has been selected and meticulously tended to by our winemaker to insure that each vine produces the highest quality fruit showing the unique, alluvial Rutherford soils that resulted from the changing path of Conn Creek and the Napa River over the last several thousand years.
