Oleandri Description
Oleandri is a collection of wines crafted with fruit from signature California vineyards. Each vineyard’s soil-type, topography and micro-climate is particularly well-suited to the varietals sourced from it. In Napa Valley, the vineyards produce structured and balanced Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc wines that share region’s exclusive heritage. On the Sonoma Coast and in the Pacific-influenced Santa Rita Hills area of Santa Barbara County, the vineyards produce Burgundian varietals that benefit from the region’s consistently cooler climate.
TASTING NOTES
Aromas: Raspberry, cassis, fig
Flavors: Dark chocolate, wild berries, baking spice
Profile: Expect a muscular core of rich flavors backed by brooding structure and focused acidity. This wine is built for aging, but good luck trying to wait!
VINEYARDS
Our 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon is from the Game Theory Vineyard in the Howell Mountain AVA. The vineyard lies some 2,000 feet above the Napa Valley floor primarily on volcanic ash and red clay soil. Drainage is rather high and fertility low; elevation and cool nights bring bright acidity and great texture. A great example of fruit and structure!
Aging: 22 months in new & neutral French oak barrels
Blend: 94.375% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Petit Verdot, 1% Malbec, 0.375% Cabernet Franc, 0.25% Merlot
VINTAGE
2021 showed off with a terrific growing season. Warm, dry days and cool nights yielded near perfect conditions once again.
