2018 Five Bands

$225.00
SOLD OUT

Our most sought-after barrels of the year. Five Bands is the definition of ultra-premium.

This rare expression of Napa Valley winemaking is an extremely limited production, of typically less than 150 cases. Whether it’s a single vineyard or a blend of our best across all our vineyard sites, it is handcrafted from start to finish, aged in carefully selected 100% new thin stave French oak. It is the most concentrated of our range with the best tannin profile and color. It has a wonderful palette, which will gain incredible complexity over the next 20 years and beyond. A full-bodied wine with a focus on balance and vibrancy. This 2018 Five Bands ended up being 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from the famed, "F Block" within the Beckstoffer Georges III Vineyard.
