Provenance
2015 and 2016 Sang-Froid Vineyards Estate Grown whole berry Cabernet Sauvignon was sourced from a single 1.06 Acre block planted in 1989 using Grace Family Vineyards Bosche cuttings on 110R Rootstock, with small lot fermentation in 70 per cent new, thin stave, tight grain, French oak from Taransaud, Boutes, and Remond.
Sang-Froid Vineyards limited production neighbors in AVA St. Helena include Grace Family Vineyards, Revana, Vineyard 29, and Colgin Cellars Tyschon Hill Vineyards.
Tasting Notes
Fresh black currant, brambly blackberry, with hints of mocha and exotic spice. Enters full and plush, concentrated mid-palate, mouth coating texture with a firm acid backbone, supple tannins and lingering finish. This fruit-focused, food-friendly Napa Cabernet is ready upon release and will age gracefully for well over 15 years.

Whence Sang-Froid?
Sang-Froid Vineyards was originally titled “Sanglier” Vineyards. “Sanglier” is French for wild boar. Following the ordering of gate signage, Proprietaire Paula Murphy was enjoying a latte in Healdsburg, California, when she locked on a sign visible through the trees in across the park in which she and a friend were sitting: “Sanglier Wines.”
Proprietaire John Murphy, upon learning of the cheeky existence of Sanglier Wine, instantly employed a French-English dictionary to find a French word that contained as many letters of Sanglier as possible to salvage the signage order. Sang-froid took the prize with five: S-A-N-G-I.
Plenty of sang-froid was manifested.
