We are excited to offer this exceptional Cabernet Sauvignon from the Yountville District of Napa Valley. High-tone aromas of black cherry, plum and sweet tobacco let you sink into the comfort of this wine.
This luxurious Yountville Cabernet Sauvignon displays a dense plum color with a balanced entry, great weight, and lovely length. High-tone aromas of black cherry, plum, and sweet tobacco let you sink into the comfort of this wine. As you take a sip, the velvety tannins harmoniously meld with the rich fruit, licorice, and spice flavors, drawing the wine to a long, resonant finish.
For more than 30 years, MacRostie has focused on making benchmark Sonoma County Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs. While this focus has allowed us to cultivate a remarkable level of experience, we are wine lovers who also find joy in exploring and discovering new regions and new wines. As a result, several years back, we began incubating a new winery here at MacRostie. We called it Clockwise—a name that captures many of the elements that are important to us from a winemaking perspective, including timing, wisdom, and knowledge. Just like at MacRostie, the winemaking for Clockwise is guided by gifted Winemaker Heidi Bridenhagen and winemaking icon Steve MacRostie.
The grapes were harvested in late October of 2018 and destemmed and crushed into open-top fermenters. Daily pump-overs during a five-day cold soak released the color and tannin. During fermentation, the grapes were gently punched down twice a day to keep the fermentation temperatures moderate and the fruit healthy for extraction. During an extended maceration, we tasted the wine daily until the optimum palate balance and tannin feel were achieved. We then pressed the finished wine off the skins. It was then aged for 22 months in 50% new French oak barrels and 45% once-filled barrels. Bottling occurred on August 18, 2020.

It features one clone, 43, grown on a historic 140-year-old vineyard site, where well-drained Bale clay loam and Coombs gravelly loam soils help to give this Cabernet its distinctive, terroir-driven character.
