As our flagship wine, Mercury Head encompasses our winemaking philosophy and overall ethos. Wines that speak to location but over-deliver on quality; bottles that are more art than function; thought-provoking, intellectual and tied to the large world outside of wine. Mercury Head does all that as a quintessential Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon sourced from premier vineyards in the best growing microclimates. Stagecoach Vineyard on Atlas Peak and Morisoli Vineyard in Rutherford represent the majority of the blend with small amounts from similar sites as well as a fraction from the Monte Rosso Vineyard in Sonoma.

Seamless and focused, the wine closes with lingering dusty tannins and a touch of baking chocolate.

NOTES FROM THE WINEMAKER: We source our Cabernet grapes from the Central Coast for their deeply concentrated flavor, dark characteristics and distinct acidity. During the 2018 growing season, spring temperatures were particularly cool until summer hot spells arrived, sending the growing season into high activity. Despite the warm temperatures, harvest began 10 days later than in recent years. Rain in early October had no effect on the grapes. The 2018 harvest produced higher-than-usual yields of exceptional fruit with deep color and concentration. After an early morning harvest, the grapes fermented rapidly in the winery with three daily pump-overs to extract color and flavor. Once fermented to dry, we pressed the must and completed malolactic fermentation on French oak to impart a soft, round mouthfeel. Each lot was tasted daily during fermentation and specifically selected to craft this layered wine.
