WINE OVERVIEW

6th generation Napa farmer Haley Wight proves that good quality wine starts in the farm with this refined Cab.

Tasting Notes

The 2021 Hayfork Field Select is a more concentrated Cabernet made with 9% of the Lewelling Ranch Petit Verdot and our very favorite block of Clone 6 Cabernet. Expressive notes of chocolate, violets, graphite, and dried herbs lend complexity to this fruit driven cabernet with plenty of depth and richness.

Food Pairing

Pairs well with heartier meat entrees like grilled steak, beef short ribs or roast lamb.

A smaller selection from a great site in St. Helena, the deep ruby-hued 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Field Select has a touch more restraint and elegance, with full-bodied aromas and flavors of cassis, plums, spicy oak, and dried flowers. A blend of 91% Cabernet Sauvignon and 9% Petit Verdot brought up in 90% new oak, it's beautifully balanced, has fine-grained tannins, a good spine of freshness, and a gorgeous finish. This thrilling bottle of wine competes with wines 2-3 times its price. It should shine for 15-20 years if well stored. Jeb Dunnuck
