Selected from microsites in the northern corner of our Rutherford Estate vineyard, these meticulously farmed vines deliver lower yields of tiny berries producing beautifully concentrated flavors, richer aromatics, and riper tannins. The 2016, 2017, and 2018 vintages of the Gravel Series Scholar’s Gate Cabernet Sauvignon showcase tremendously rich, concentrated flavors, a supple tannin structure, ripe red-fruited aromas, and bright acidity.

Includes:

2016 Gravel Series ‘Scholar’s Gate’ Cabernet Sauvignon

2017 Gravel Series ‘Scholar’s Gate’ Cabernet Sauvignon

2018 Gravel Series ‘Scholar’s Gate’ Cabernet Sauvignon
