TOR Kenward Family's Cabernet Sauvignon represents the culmination of Tor Kenward's decades-long relationships with Napa Valley's most legendary growers. Sourced from premier vineyard sites across Oakville, Rutherford, and Pritchard Hill—including the famed Beckstoffer To Kalon—this wine is a masterclass in Napa Valley terroir. Winemaker Jeff Ames employs a minimal-intervention approach, utilizing native yeasts and aging the wine in prime French oak barrels before bottling it unfined and unfiltered. The result is a Cabernet of immense power, complexity, and grace, capturing the opulent dark fruit, refined structure, and dusty mineral undertones that have defined Napa's golden era of winemaking.
