Tasting notes
Full bottle just 1,198 g. 83% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Merlot, 5.5% Petit Verdot, 0.5% Cabernet Franc. Mainly regeneratively farmed Yountville fruit. Aged 20 months in 100% French oak barrels. A tad raw and simple on the nose. Straightforward, honest, unadorned Napa Cab with sufficient structure to keep it going for a while. (JR)

Coming largely from Yountville, with small amounts of Calistoga and Rutherford fruit, the 2020 Estate Grown Cabernet Sauvignon features cherries and currants on the nose, with perhaps a hint of barbecue smoke as well. It's medium to full-bodied, with a slightly dusty astringency on the finish. I would opt for drinking it over the near term.
Ripe plums, black cherries, cedary herbs, and spicy oak all emerge from the 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon Miljenko's Selection, a concentrated, medium-bodied, dense Cabernet that has some clear smoke influence.
Rich blackberries, smoked meat and spices on the nose. Full-bodied and dense on the palate, with compact and chewy tannins. A bit smoky in the finish, though it offers some good fruit. Drink now.
