Unwind and relax with 3 luxurious bottles of Red Cap Cabernet Sauvignon-Limited Edition (2008, 2009, 2010). 

Red Cap sources the fruit for its Sauvignon Blanc from the McGah Family’s Alsace Vineyard located in Rutherford, an appellation widely considered to be one of the premier sources of Napa Valley fruit. Nestled just north of Oakville and bordering the Silverado Trail, the estate produces beautiful Sauvignon Blanc as well as Cabernet Sauvignon, Semillon and Petite Verdot. 

The vineyard soils from this upper east-side bench are a mix of red and brown gravelly loam with excellent drainage. The Rutherford AVA provides the perfect amount of heat to ripen the Sauvignon Blanc but also provides cooler evenings necessary for uniformity and full maturity at harvest.

ABOUT RED CAP VINEYARDS
 
The Altemus family planted Red Cap Vineyards on a beautiful site near the summit of Howell Mountain in the Napa Valley. The rocky, volcanic soils and the uniqueness of the Howell Mountain microclimate produce fruit of exceptional character and quality.

Planted on virgin land in 2003 at an elevation of 1900 feet, the Aiken loam soil is deep, red, and peppered with fractured rock. The terrain is a rolling plateau at the top of the mountain. The vineyard yields about two tons of grapes per acre. Cabernet clones 4,7 and 169 were used on 101-14 rootstock and the vine spacing is five feet by seven feet.

The grapes are organically grown and hand farmed. Alfonso Elena manages the vineyard. He has been farming grapes in Napa Valley for over 35 years with extensive hillside experience. His knowledge and experience is invaluable.
