Jayson Pahlmeyer planted his vineyard in 1981 using “suitcase clones” allegedly smuggled from France. His founding philosophy was to create a “California Mouton” and he has undoubtedly secured his winery’s reputation as one of the finest producers of Bordeaux varieties in Napa.
2013 an outstanding vintage for Cabernet Sauvignon resulted in wines of great complexity and age-ability.
84% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc, 1% Petit Verdot and 1% Malbec. The wine presents notes of crème de cassis, tobacco and graphite, balanced by rich finely grained, now fully integrated tannins.

Vinous
(84% cabernet sauvignon with 10% merlot, 4% cab franc and 1% each petit verdot and malbec) Good saturated red-ruby. Pungent aromas of cassis and violet, with a whiff of smoked meat. Densely packed, layered and thick; a step up in depth from the merlot. This boasts a chocolatey richness to its sweet dark fruit flavors. Finishes supple, lush, broad and long, with substantial sweet tannins and a lingering note of chocolate.
