If you were to buy only one bottling from the offering, this would be the wine. We started with this eastern Oakville site in 2013 and the wine has gotten better every year. So far we haven’t touched on the color of the vintage. 2016 is one of the darkest years we have ever seen, right there with 2007 and 2013. The 2016 Lore is at another level even in a dense vintage. The wine has a saturated black hue that extends all the way to the rim where it begrudgingly turns to dark garnet. The nose doesn't wait for you to lift the glass, it fills the room as the wine is poured. All the structure of the site is present even in the aromatic. Abundant fruit buffers the structure which is a bit of an anomaly in the vintage. We feel this fruit has always been possible and now with a better handle on the farming, we have unlocked its potential. This vintage at Lore was plentiful so we had the ability to ferment several blocks separately giving us more to blend with and the ability to declassify barrels into the Napa bottling. All palate descriptors center on the black-fruited nature of the wine, licorice, creosote, blackberries and crushed rock fill out the middle and the finish. We’ve said it before, we feel very fortunate to be leasing this site. If this wine is an indicator of future potential, we hope to be here for a long time.

A barrel sample, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Lore Vineyard gives a very deep purple-black color and opens with restrained earth and savory notes of mossy bark, truffles, tilled soil, bay leaves and tobacco with a core of red and black currants, blackberries and pencil shavings. Medium-bodied, the palate is very finely played and fresh, giving up loads of earth and black fruit layers, finishing with great length.
