Throughout Napa Valley, the 2007 vintage produced some of the greatest wine grapes in recent memory. Conditions were remarkable mild and even, with very few heat spikes, allowing flavors and tannins to ripen slowly and beautifully. For the last vintage produced for Rocca by winemaker Celia Welch, the fruit from each block of the vineyard was harvested and fermented separately, and aged in French oak barrels for an initial nine months. Celia then perfected the blend in July of 2008 - 98% Cab, 2% Petite Verdot - and returned the wine to barrels for an additional 10 months. 

100% Cabernet grapes from a single, organically farmed vineyard, combined with our winemaker's classic non-interventionist style, creates the purest expression possible of "Napa Valley Terroir."

Our 2009 Grigsby Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is classically beautiful Napa Valley Cabernet. The overall impression is one of exceptional fruit purity and uncommon elegance, a perfect demonstration of the balance and grace of the finest wines from this special vintage.
