Sherwin Family Vineyards Cellar Scraps #17 Platinum Reserve

Sherwin Family Vineyards Cellar Scraps #17 Platinum Reserve is a masterfully crafted red blend that unites Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Sirah. Carefully sourced from prestigious vineyards across St. Helena, Calistoga, Howell Mountain, and Oakville, this wine reflects the unique character of each appellation while harmonizing them into a singular expression of balance and depth.

Predominantly composed of youthful vibrancy and mature complexity and aged for 22 to 34 months in French oak barrels, the wine achieves remarkable depth and seamless integration, finishing long, graceful, and beautifully layered. Bottled under the Sherwin Family Vineyards Platinum Reserve label, this blend embodies the craftsmanship and dedication that define the estate's winemaking philosophy.

Founded in 1996 by Steve and Linda Sherwin, Sherwin Family Vineyards sits atop the serene heights of Spring Mountain in Napa Valley. What began as a pursuit of tranquility away from the Bay Area's fast pace has evolved into a legacy of artisanal winemaking rooted in passion and precision. Their debut 1996 Spring Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon, released in 1999, established the estate's reputation for producing bold yet balanced wines that speak to the mountain's rugged beauty and refined elegance. Cellar Scraps #17 Platinum Reserve continues this legacy, capturing the art of blending and the soul of Napa Valley in every glass.
