The Warrior

Single-vineyard Napa Cabernet Sauvignon

Fate whispered to the Warrior, ‘you cannot survive the storm.’ The Warrior whispered back… ‘I am the storm.’

This wine is not for the faint of heart. It is for those with a will of steel and determination to match... a wine for people that admire subtle elegance and not-so-subtle power.

"Full-bodied with a very fine velvet texture. Extremely long and delicious."

James Suckling, jamessuckling.com , September 10th 2025

Vintage Notes

The 2022 growing season was truly special, with plenty of winter rain to fill our reservoirs, and abundant sunshine and heat through the summer months. An unusual late season rain washed the dust off the berries, starting a gentle cooling trend that set us up perfectly for the final ripening push in the Fall. We hang fruit on the vine longer than most, and the weather conditions in 2022 allowed us time to push that envelope to the limit, resulting in wines with an intense fruit expression, and a full-bodied core.

Vineyard Notes

Sourced from a single, small, family-owned vineyard, farmed with great care and attention (their “dream” standard) and never forced to pick by weather or tank capacities. Made by sorting the fruit berry by berry, fermenting in small, French oak fermenters, and long aging in the finest barriques. The secret is no compromise and no detail overlooked, ever.

Composition

100% Cabernet Sauvignon

Cooperage

Aged for 35 months in 100% new French oak. We only use the finest French oak barrique with stave wood that is hand-selected for ultra-tight grain, then air dried for three years before being made into barrels.

Appellation

Napa Valley

Tasting Notes

The 2022 Warrior is bold and unwavering, offering a complex aromatic profile, with layers of white pepper, raspberry jam, and dried strawberry, balanced by earthen hints of clay pot and tobacco leaf. Subtle accents of apricot, seasoned sweet oak, and a cool, mineral note reminiscent of a limestone cave, bring depth and nuance. On the palate, the wine shows vibrant acidity that accentuates the fruit, while fine-grained tannins enrich the wine’s texture. The mid-palate has a wonderfully subtle grippiness that leads into a muscular finish that is balanced, and persistent.

“Pure, total power and darkness. Be careful as you may like it too much and it could put you in the mood to tell people what you really think.”

A word from Jayson about Warrior

The Warrior is beautiful, it is worthy of opening for all your special times, the moments when life just doesn’t get any better. Friends, family, victories – will all be there, and even the dark days will not be so darn bad. It is a wine that will make you smile, like the time that asshole down the street you hated drove his Porche too fast and crashed into a cement truck and exploded.
