• Rombauer is one of the top Cabernet Sauvignon producers in the Napa Valley. • Cabernet Sauvignon was the first wine produced by Rombauer Vineyards when the winery was founded in 1980. |
| Vinification | The fruit for this wine comes from vineyards in the St. Helena, Calistoga, Stags Leap District, and Atlas Peak AVAs. A mild winter with minimal precipitation ended with an early spring frost, reducing yields for the harvest. A hot summer, led to berries with intense and concentrated flavors. Sustainable farming practices throughout the growing season were tailored to each block with the assistance of aerial photos produced using NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) technology. Harvest was long, with ideal conditions allowing us to pick each block at its optimal ripeness and at night to preserve the fruit’s natural acidity. The grapes were carefully destemmed and optically sorted to ensure only perfect fruit made it into the wine. A cold soak extracted color and flavor before a combination of tank and barrel fermentation was used to provide a richer, more textured palate. The wine was gently basket-pressed before being racked to French oak barrels for malolactic fermentation and aging. |
