It is said by Burgundian vinters that the grape is simply a vehicle that allows the vineyard to express itself. Shibumi Knoll is located in the center of the Napa Valley .3 miles off Highway 29 and a quarter mile from the Napa River. It is on the alluvial fan of Mill Creek and is composed of 80% rock.
Thus the wine shows the grace of Napa Valley Cabernet yet has the structure we see in wines from stony hillside vineyards.
We harvest the grapes when they are ripe but not overly so.
Therefore our Cabernet shows many qualities of a great red Bordeaux. Because of these qualities it is a favorite at The French Laundry.
