2018 Ashes & Diamonds "Red Hen Vineyard" Cabernet Sauvignon No. 3, Oak Knoll District, Napa Valley, USAABOUT THIS WINE Red Hen Vineyard is another of Bart and Daphne Araujos biodynamically farmed sites. The property sits in the Oak Knoll District of Napa Valley, located in the foothills of the Mayacamas Mountains, across Highway 29 from A&D Vineyard. With well draining gravel and cobblestones suspended in alluvial silt and clay, the soil here acts like a sponge, naturally pulling rainwater down from the mountains and requiring little to no irrigation.
