Winemaker Notes

Oakville ranch is one of napa valley's authentic masterpieces. the heart-stopping beauty over each rise, the way mother nature has gifted its yield—these are the building blocks, the blessings inherent in the land itself. Those who nurture theplanted hollows and terraces crowning the mountain see farming more as an artthan a commodity. Theirs has been a patient and painstaking quest to unleash thevast potential of one of the oakville appellation's pioneering vineyards. To nurtureincomparable fruit and to craft singular wines expressive of a place unlike anyother in napa valley. A place juicy and joyful with growth.

This is wine worship at its most elemental, with no artifice between you and the glass.This is red dust on your shoes, indescribable views, smoke and violets on the tongue,a glad heart. Listen, savor and enjoy!

    The 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville plays it closer to the vest than either the Cabernet Franc or Zinfandel Field Blend. Locked and loaded, it possesses plenty of black currant fruit intermixed with hints of earth and oak as well as a juicy, full-bodied mouthfeel. This youthful, still grapy wine spent 19 months in French oak It has lots of potential, but needs to be forgotten for 3-4 years and should age for 15-20 years thereafter.

Oakville Ranch, California
Oakville Ranch is rambunctiously alive. In the decades since Bob and Mary Miner bought the 350-acre property with a desire to showcase what the Oakville sub-appellation is capable of producing in the context of a mountain vineyard, the obsessive care that has gone into priming the soil and vines is now yielding fruit of unprecedented quality. With much of its pristine grasslands and forests untouched, the ranch is a landscape of uncontained beauty and boundless promise—promise that grows bolder with every harvest.

A gradual and deliberate shift from conventional, reductive farming methods to more sustainable principles has established a naturally animated vineyard ecosystem. Organic practices now encourage plant and insect diversity among the vines, rather than trying to vanquish it. The soil is reawakened. The vineyards have been patiently replanted and the hillsides cultivated to allow terraces to grow in tandem with vines. Always a producer of super-premium fruit, Oakville Ranch is now yielding grapes of a quality unmatched by the vast majority of Napa Valley growers.

One of the most prestigious wines of the world capable of great power and grace, Napa Valley Cabernet is a leading force in the world of fine, famous, collectible red wine. Today the Napa Valley and Cabernet Sauvignon are so intrinsically linked that it is difficult to discuss one without the other. But it wasn’t until the 1970s that this marriage came to light; sudden international recognition rained upon Napa with the victory of the Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars 1973 Cabernet Sauvignon in the 1976 Judgement of Paris.

Cabernet Sauvignon undoubtedly dominates Napa Valley today, covering half of the land under vine, commanding the highest prices per ton and earning the most critical acclaim. Cabernet Sauvignon’s structure, acidity, capacity to thrive in multiple environs and ability to express nuances of vintage make it perfect for Napa Valley where incredible soil and geographical diversity are found and the climate is perfect for grape growing. Within the Napa Valley lie many smaller sub-AVAs that express specific characteristics based on situation, slope and soil—as a perfect example, Rutherford’s famous dust or Stags Leap District's tart cherry flavors.
