Grown in RSV’s organic cool-climate Carneros Vineyards, this wine has more in common with the Right-Bank of the Old World than the Left-Bank of the New World — and for good reason. RSV’s Vandal Vineyard is in many ways like the Right-Bank of Napa with a heat summation similar to Saint-Émilion. No wonder Cabernet Franc and Merlot thrive here with vibrant fruit that has just the right amount of naturally-occurring, mouth-watering acidity. Combine those two varieties with a touch of Cabernet Sauvignon for backbone and longevity, and you have a wine that in our POV strikes a perfect balance of supple fruit and elegant structure to be the perfect dinner companion
