There are places in the world that are so special that the wine that is produced
there becomes renowned. The eastern side of Oakville, CA coined ‘Magic Mountain’
is one of those places. What emerges from this rocky, sun-drenched soil is like
no other Cabernet in the world.

OUR STORY

Our story began thousands of years ago, when a single mountain within the Vaca
Range split in two and collapsed, resulting in a rubble field of volcanic core
stones that face the setting sun. This event created what is now the eastern
border of the Oakville AVA, and is a site that is exposed to constant and
intense daily sunshine. This results in grapes that possess extremely ripe
tannins, contributing to the unique elegance and approachability of our wines.
Because of the ‘magic’ of this place and to ensure we produce wines reflective
of the site, every step in the winemaking and viticulture process is first
class.

Oakville East’s multi-vineyard Oakville locations surround some of California’s
finest Cabernet Sauvignon wines, including Joseph Phelps Backus, Dalle Valle,
and Sir Peter Michael vines, and are perched above Rudd, Gargiulo and Screaming
Eagle.

OUR WINES


OAKVILLE EAST
EXPOSURE 2014

Revealing an intense purple color, this Cabernet Sauvignon has wall-to wall
flavors that are plum, rich, complex, and exhibits gorgeous aromas of crème de
cassis, licorice and blueberry liqueur. The wine is intense, full bodied, but
finishes with soft round tannins that are structured and layered.

OAKVILLE EAST
FRANC N STERN 2016

Franc 'N Stern exhibits a dark ruby-purple color with aromas of sweet
boysenberry, mulberry and dark fruits along with notes of forest floor and
violets. The wine is monstrously full bodied with ripe dark fruit, red plums,
freshness, ripe tannins, and length. It should evolve nicely with some age.

OAKVILLE EAST
CORE STONE 2016

This blend brings forward aromas of blueberry, blackberry, tobacco, vanilla,
marshmallow, black currant, tea, roses, violets, dust and a hint of mint. The
mid palate is full bodied with fine velvet chewy tannins with bright balanced
acidity, with flavors of rhubarb, cocoa, strawberry, cassis, and plum.

HARTER FAMILY
DOUBLE H RANCH '16

This Cabernet Sauvignon exhibits a crushed rock/iron profile which adds dust and
minerality to the intense orange blossom, cardamom, blueberry, blackberry,
cranberry, red currant and strawberry flavors and aromas. The tannin structure
is well-developed and balances with bright acidity.

94 POINTS WINE ENTHUSIAST



Oakville East Exposure 2014

Silky tannins complement a wealth of structured, luscious cherry and cassis in
this wine, blended with nearly 13% Petit Verdot and 5% Cabernet Franc. Amidst an
undercurrent of toasted oak and vanilla are length and complexity for days. This
is drinking nicely now but should do well with cellaring; enjoy 2024–2030.

– VIRGINIE BOONE



Oakville East Franc’ n Stern 2016

Reduced and strongly aromatic in coffee, this wine offers generous helpings of
tannin and dark brooding blackberry, tar and dark chocolate. Its powerful
concentration doesn’t detract from the overall structure, which suggests aging.
Enjoy best 2025–2030.
