Tournesol Estate Cabernet Sauvignon is made with grapes from a hand-selected lot from a single block in our stream vineyard which yields outstanding fruit. Our Cabernet Sauvignon vines are the venerable Clone 4, which first arrived in California in 1964 from Mendoza, Argentina. Clone 4 has earned its reputation in many of the most famous wines from Napa Valley. The rocky, volcanic soils of the Tournesol Vineyard produce clusters with small berries and uncommon intensity. This wine is aged entirely in French Oak, seasoned for three years before the barrel is produced and split into a thin 22mm stave thickness, to allow the required evolution before bottling just shy of two years later. The finished wine is deep, rich, and full bodied with structure and elegance, beautiful upon release or after 10-20 years in bottle.
