The Vineyard: The Oakville Station is part of one of the most historic vineyards in Oakville and is located due west of the Welcome to Napa sign in the heart of the Napa Valley (originally named Hermosa but changed to TK by Hamilton Crabb in 1880). Wine Spectator recently rated the Oakville To Kalon vineyard (which includes the Oakville Station) number one in the US and number two in the world just under Domaine de la Romanee-Conti.
The Wine: A beautifully balanced Bordeaux-style blend of 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Cabernet Franc and 19% Merlot.
Aging: Aged for 30 months in custom-made French oak barrels. Only four barrels produced.
Tasting Notes: The 2021 Cuveé Christiane is a Bordeaux-style blend of 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Cabernet Franc and 19% Merlot. The nose is extremely expressive. Youthful red licorice and raspberry sorbet. Feels like you're walking through a bakery. This wine is made in the Classic Napa style. The entry of this wine is medium++ bodied, red fruit dominant with strawberry liqueur, raspberries, youthful boysenberry, gravelly bing cherries. Lots of neutral oak tannin on the front carrying through to the finish.
