Marked Parcels Yountville Ranch Vineyard (Cabernet Sauvignon 2017)
Description
A personal favorite of Eddy. We reached out to the vineyard to secure 1000 bottles but they only gave us 240 bottles.
A great wine and highly drinkable now but with the structure for 10+ years of bottle aging.
WINEMAKER/VINEYARD COMMENTS: Kimberlee NICHOLLS
"Sourced from our Yountville Ranch Vineyard estate in the heart of Napa Valley, this well-structured Cabernet was built to age, but don't let that stop you. It's showing beautifully upon release and is fabulously fun to drink now."

Budbreak and bloom were on time after a late January chill.
