Pym Rae Cabernet Sauvignon Napa 2017

Description

2017 was a challenging vintage. After a particularly wet and cold winter, the growing season started late. The following part of the year went to a classic Californian story Sun, heat and blue sky! However, despite a few days in a row with over 110F early September in the valley, our grapes remained healthy and balanced due to our altitude vineyard which benefits from a fresher climate. The end of the season was marked by important fires in the region. At Pym-Rae, only our Cabernet Franc were affected. We have thus excluded them from the final blend. Our vineyard went through extreme conditions, from a wet winter to a very hot summer. We obtained an intense and powerful wine, balanced with a beautiful freshness characteristic from our terroir.
