2022 HOLY SMOKE cabernet sauvignon

Blueberries and plums glide across the palate, picking up cocoa nibs, licorice, vanilla bean and graham cracker along the journey. The texture is soft and supple, with elegant tannins befitting a wine made from grapes ripened in the daily rhythm of morning fog and afternoon sun.

Our Single Vineyard Series is a collection that captures the soul of individual sites across Napa Valley. Each vintage is shaped by the natural world, its rhythms, surprises, and challenges. From unpredictable weather to the unseen trials beneath the soil, we work with intention and resilience to bring each vineyard’s story to life. Near dawn the fog lingers and the hills of the valley extend its stay. We call it “Holy Smoke,” as this ritual creates an ideal winegrowing climate. This is more than winemaking, it’s a legacy rooted in nature, nurtured by hand, and inspired by the divine.

The Crossroads Vineyard sits in the heart of the Oakville appellation at the approximate center and widest part of Napa Valley. It derives its name in part from the smoke-like fog that lingers above the vines on summer mornings, lifting gradually as the sun heats the valley floor. The soils here are a combination of Riverwash and Yolo loam. The synergy between clone and soils yields a beautifully-structured, mouth-filling Cabernet.
