Wine Description
The Story
Rattlesnake hill is a small rocky knoll on the estate, located at 2050 ft elevation on Spring Mountain. The hills position allows optimal sun exposure while being above the fog line. Since the inception of this wine in 1991 Barnett has sought out only the very best of their Estate Cabernet Sauvignon on Spring Mountain to complement its complexity. They work diligently in the vineyard and the winery on keeping all of the small lots separated. They then examine these lots for the complexity, intensity and power to match the hill. Only these small estate lots that are deserving come together to form the proprietary top tier, Rattlesnake.
