Circadia Cabernet is the culmination of many years of diligence and patience. Circadia celebrates Napa Valley as a whole, a tribute to all the great vineyards from one end of the valley to the other.


WINE
Unique parcels of fruit from many special vineyards in Napa Valley each contribute elements of fruit flavor, aroma, palate structure and tannin. Capturing the best attributes of these distinctive small batches of grapes is the key to Circadia’s complexity. Aromas burst forth and a silken treasure unfolds onto your palate.  This is a rich and vibrant wine of signature Napa Valley style, possessing classic Cabernet Sauvignon flavors and structure.


MAKING
Each Vineyard was harvested and fermented separately and in small lots. The goal was to handle the fruit as gently as possible and extract only fine tannins. Fermentaion occurred in small upright tanks so as to give the juice full access to skins allowing for maximum color extraction. After fermentation, the wine was gently pressed and allowed to rest in French Oak until bottling in April 2011.

LABEL
Gifted artist, Michael McDermott created this original piece of art especially for Circadia. The lines and swirls represent the travels of a winemaker moving tirelessly around the valley, collecting a little fruit from here and there and bringing it home to make something magical. Inspiration for the name comes from the circadian rhythms that guide a bee, heading out on its daily adventure to collect nectar much in the same way a winemaker travels the valley selecting the best grapes.
