2018 Sinskey POV

Los Carneros Cabernet Franc and Merlot at their best.

Where New World precision meets Old World soul, the 2018 POV offers a Napa claret with stunning depth and complexity. Bursting with tart bing cherry, ripe raspberry, and blackberry bramble, this wine stays crisp from the first sip to the last. Subtle hints of rose petal, fresh oregano, forest floor, and mocha reflect the unique terroir of the Mayacamas foothills, where organic and regenerative farming thrive. A touch of French oak brings structure to its savoury core, promising even more layers as it ages.

Winegrowing Notes:
Grown in the red volcanic soils of the Mayacamas, RSV’s organically farmed Vandal Vineyard delivers some of the most expressive Cabernet Franc in the region. These old vines produce small, concentrated clusters, harvested late for optimal ripeness and lower sugar. Blended with vibrant Merlot from RSV’s OSR and Three Amigos Vineyards, the grapes undergo native yeast fermentation and are aged for two years in caves, followed by two more years of bottle ageing before release.
