The source of the Cabernet Sauvignon.
Oakville sits at the center of Napa Valley Cabernet. Well-drained gravelly and alluvial soils, combined with the warmth of the valley and cooling influence of morning fog, create ideal conditions for Cabernet Sauvignon with concentration, structure, and balance.
For Ninth Acre, Oakville is an important source for Cabernet Sauvignon and represents the classic valley-floor expression of Napa Cabernet.
