Lerner Project
2018 RMS Napa Valley cabernet sauvignon
The singular element that strikes one immediately upon arriving at Armstrong Ranch (the home estate for Lerner Project) is its profound silence. In this regard, its remote location is its most coveted asset. Yes this is in the Napa Valley, but this is a slice of the valley that few visitors ever see. Access is either from Sonoma County on a rare still partially dirt road or from Napa County up several miles on the very narrow Kortum Canyon Road which quickly rises from the valley floor – elevating one to exceptional and intimate views of the surrounding hillsides, Mt. St Helena and the valley far below. Like on the eastern slopes of the Sierra Nevada mountains, the eastern slopes of the Mayacamas mountains are rugged and steep.
