The Trail is a dense, polished Oakville expression of blackcurrant, blueberry, graphite and crushed violets. Horseshoe is a single-clone, single-block bottling of clone 7, aged entirely in new French oak and made in just 85 to 100 cases, with a 94-point rating from James Suckling. Pony Express, named for the historic mail route, is a saturated, plush wine of creme de cassis, black raspberry, violets and sweet tobacco.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese are true collector Cabernets from one of Oakville's most coveted neighborhoods.

Production is tiny and allocation-driven, with the wines made with consulting winemaking talent and a minimal-intervention approach: hand-harvested fruit, small-lot native fermentations, extended maceration and aging for roughly 20 months in French oak with a high percentage of new barrels, bottled unfined and unfiltered at about 15.0% ABV in 750ml. The Trail is the estate's Cabernet Sauvignon bottling, a dense, polished expression of Oakville: blackcurrant, black cherry, blueberry and plum over graphite, crushed violets, cocoa, cedar and a savory herbal edge, with powerful but finely grained tannins, lifted acidity and a long, layered finish. The 2018 vintage, a cool, long growing season widely regarded as one of Napa's best, gives it both density and freshness, and it will cellar for 15 to 20 years. Decant and serve with a dry-aged ribeye, rack of lamb or roasted duck.
