Tasting Notes
From a great valley floor site in Oakville that lies just south of Beckstoffer To Kalon, this wine shows a deep and profound purple color.

An opulent and full-bodied wine, it shows ideal balance on the palate - a mixture of great fruit, rounded tannins and natural acidity that results in a
lengthy finish with a savory quality. This wine is pure pleasure and will surely be a favorite in your cellar over time

The History of the Bourne Vineyard
This heritage 12-acre St. Helena vineyard is a stone’s throw from Beckstoffer Dr Crane and Las Piedras vineyards, Beckstoffer Bourn Vineyard was originally the vineyard of William Bowers Bourn II, a gold mining pioneer from San Francisco. First planted in 1872 as a family home, it is one of the oldest vineyards in Napa Valley. A portion of the original vineyard was purchased by Beckstoffer Vineyards in 2010 and replanted mostly to various clones of Cabernet Sauvignon on three different rootstocks - there is still a small area of old head trained Petite Sirah vines.
