MORE ABOUT THIS WINE
- Price: $60
- Blend: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon
- Vineyards: Bill and Kathleen Collins, founders of Conn Creek Winery, farm this vineyard on the valley floor north of the town of St. Helena. The vineyard is located on an old riverbed with a mix of well-drained sedimentary and gravel-clay soils strewn with large boulders. The site enjoys a very warm climate with little fog and wind, and summertime temperatures often exceed 90º F. These conditions ensure that Collins is one of the first Cabernet Sauvignon vineyards we harvest each year.
- ALC: 14.5% TA: 0.59 g/100mL pH: 3.74
