Located at the base of Spring Mountain on the west side of St. Helena, this vineyard has been farmed by the Bartolucci family for three generations. With its well-drained soil and gentle slopes, this vineyard is perfect for growing Cabernet Sauvignon.
Rich, broad fruit characters. Cherry cobbler and blackberry notes with underpinnings of French oak. Silky mid-pallet is balanced by firm tannins. This age worthy wine will continue to develop through 2027 and longer.

Kristen Belair harvested this wine on September 18 through 20, capturing beautifully ripe fruit in this 2017. It grows at a vineyard at the base of Spring Mountain, where the vines in benchland soils ripened their grape skins to a deep black cherry–scented richness. The tannins are breathable, ghosting past the fruit in a whisper of flavor that lasts, the memory of a summer cherry and the burst of its juice. Good wine if you drink it now; great wine if you age it. —J.G. (1,500 cases)

This is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from the Bartolucci vineyard on Dean York Lane in St. Helena. Deep purple-black colored, the 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Bartolucci Vineyard offers vibrant cassis, blackberries and mulberries scents with hints of olives, bay leaves and tilled soil. The palate is full-bodied, firm and fine-grained with background freshness and plenty of energy in the finish. Nice! - Lisa Perrotti-Brown
