A true expression of the Pocai Vineyard, this 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon captures its essence with remarkable finesse and authenticity. Deep ruby hue with aromas of chocolate, blueberry, violet, lavender, cherry, and cedar. Rich and full-bodied, with layered dark fruit, cocoa, and floral notes. Balanced with integrated tannins and a long, elegant finish.

Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
Pocai Vineyard has a way of expressing a fruit-forward California wine but also brings large tannins that are integrated to create a powerful yet elegant wine.
Vineyard Notes
The Pocai Vineyard has been continuously farmed by our family for over 100 years, ever since Frank Ballentine’s great grandfather purchased it in 1905. Purchased with a pile of gold coins, Pocai Vineyard is located on the southern edge of the Calistoga Appellation. The soil is Bale gravelly loam, the rockiest soil of our three vineyards, the fertility of the soil is low, but the drainage is excellent and is perfect for growing powerful red grapes. Pocai Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon stands out year after year.
