The Redmon Vineyard was originally planted over 40 years ago with Cabernet Sauvignon grape vines from the classic era in Napa Valley. Originally cultivated as a dry farm, the Clone 6 vines were grafted onto a root system referred to as “root stock” named Saint George. This root stock is known to be resistant to a number of pests that have plagued the wine industry for decades.
For 35 years this vineyard thrived, stressed from the dry growing conditions it has produced award winning wines that were the result of small berries, thick skins, and concentrated fruit flavors.
Today, Scott and Lisa are second generation grape growers that continue the tradition of quality, while modernizing the growing practice in the vineyard. While still following a water depravation approach, drip lines were added in 2005 in order to replace some of the older vines that had died out. With access to small amounts of water, the vineyards life has been extended by enabling replanting and soil cultivation practices that ensure sustainability for many years to come.

Delicious layers of flavor emanate from this elegant Cabernet Sauvignon. This Napa Valley wine is our signature estate wine made with 100% Cabernet from the Redmon Estate Vineyard. Black cherry, raspberry, Asian spice and cassis blend together to gracefully compliment the touch of vanilla and toasty oak flavor introduced by the finest French Oak barrels. A velvety texture glazes across the palate supporting the acidity and structure resulting in a long, lingering finish. The result is a wine that will easily cellar for the next 12 to 15 years
