The inaugural release of the 2009 Robert John Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon is presented with great pride.  What began as a simple dream has evolved into the creation of incredible wine.  The grapes for the 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon were sourced from the Georges III Vineyard in Rutherford and Stagecoach Vineyard on Pritchard Hill.  The final blend is comprised of 45% cabernet sauvignon from Georges III, 45 % cabernet sauvignon from Stagecoach, 6% petit verdot, 3% cabernet franc, and 1% merlot.
