Former Chief Winemakers Myron Nightingale and Ed Sbragia created the Private Reserve program in 1977 with the goal of crafting Napa's finest Cabernet Sauvignon
Yeilds were down in 2018 due to problems with frost
Vignes Frenches is a Premier Cru vineyard near the boundary with Pommard
2011 was a difficult vintage
produced from a single-vintage
and the wines look set to be magnificent
supported by dried fruits and almond
careful selection of grape varieties
Known for being powerful and tannic when young combined with a tannic and powerful vintage makes this wine a potential blockbuster
Despite its lovely balance and quite a bit of elegance it's perhaps not very deep
kind of motor oily
just west of Libourne and the wines are considered superior to those of Fronsac
