NOTES: From Block 8 of the Happy Canyon Vineyard, these gnarly old head trained vines originate from cutting of the famed To Kalon Vineyard in Napa. The Block is situated on an extremely steep, west facing slope full of river cobble. Due to its extreme terrain the block is farmed 100% by hand. During the growing season mid-morning fog lifts to warm sunshine in the afternoons before a dramatic cool down each night. This diurnal shift allows for optimal ripening while retaining remarkable acidity in the grapes.
Carrying the initials ‘RSW’, for Rory Steven Willett, this bottling pays homage to Justin’s father who passed away in 2016.
Our cabernet is 100% destemmed. We load the fruit into an oak, open-top fermenter where native fermentation begins after a few days. On the skins for two weeks, we gently extract using pump overs. Once fermentation is complete we press off and let the juice settle briefly before transferring to French oak barrels. The wine spends 20 months in 1/3 new french oak barrels before being bottled with no fining or filtering
