In the glass, the wine presents a brilliant, pale straw color with subtle golden reflections. A steady stream of fine, persistent bubbles rise elegantly through the glass, creating a delicate and refined mousse.
On the nose, the bouquet is elegant and complex, opening with lifted aromas of honeysuckle blossom, citrus zest, and fresh-cut hay. Layers of acacia flower, Asian pear, and white peach emerge with time in the glass, accompanied by subtle notes of almond pastry and toasted brioche. A delicate chalk-like minerality provides precision and depth, reflecting the wine's extended maturation on the lees.

Delicate aromas of rose petals, white strawberry, and cherry blossom lift from the glass, giving way to subtle hints of fresh cream and honeysuckle. On the palate, the wine is poised and elegant, with subtle red berry notes layered over nuances of crushed oyster shell and a whisper of coastal minerality.

This Cabernet is everything we love about Oakville; bold, structured, and unapologetically expressive. Sourced from a benchland vineyard on the eastern side, it reflects the power and precision this pocket of Napa is known for.
Right out of the glass, it hits with deep notes of black cherry jam and spiced vanilla, layered with hints of crushed violets and a touch of graphite and dusty rock, classic Oakville. On the palate, it brings dense black fruit, mocha, red plum, and this earthy, loamy vibe that anchors everything. As it opens up, you’ll catch wild herbs, mulberry, graham cracker, and even a little truffle sneaking in.
It’s a wine that’s got presence; big texture, deep fruit, and a long, grounded finish. You can open it now and be blown away, or lay it down and let it evolve. Either way, it’s pure ZFG.
