• Récoltant

Inspired by the wines of the late 1980s and early 1990s that first sparked Desmond’s passion, Récoltant focuses on fruit sourced primarily from Coombsville and other cooler southern Napa sites. The result is a Cabernet that leads with vibrant Napa fruit while offering the savory complexity, structure, and restraint reminiscent of Bordeaux.

Crafted with precision and balance, Récoltant Cabernet showcases notes of red and dark fruit layered with tobacco leaf, cedar, and a touch of green olive, framed by bright acidity and poised tannins. Julien’s roots in Provence and training in Bordeaux bring an old-world sensibility, while Desmond’s Napa vision ensures the wine remains unmistakably of its place. Together, they’ve created a brand that honors the past, embraces Napa’s unique terroir, and delivers a soulful, timeless expression of Cabernet Sauvignon.
