What to Expect

California's Napa Valley has been a source of world-class Cabernet Sauvignon for well over a century. Its warm climate and varied terrain allows for many styles of wine. One thread that runs through almost all the Cabernet based wines from Napa is their lush, ripe full-bodied feel and rich flavors of currant and berry. Wines from the valley floor, particularly around Rutherford, are famed for a dusty quality and those coming from the hillsides surrounding the valley, Mt. Veeder, Diamond Mountain and Howell Mountain for example, tend to be a little leaner with more obvious structural elements.

Reviews

The mountains of Napa Valley produce some of the world's most profound expressions of Cabernet Sauvignon. The defining element is pure intensity. Our 1997 Mountain Estate Cabernet captures the concentration and power of mountain fruit balanced with dense, dark fruit flavors and cedar notes imparted from French oak aging. Alcohol: 14.1%

Rating: 94/100 - As reviewed by Vinfolio Sourced from Howell Mountain, Atlas Peak, Mt. Veeder and Diamond Mountain. A nose of black fruits, wild raspberries with some loamy earth notes followed by ethereally exotic floral scents. On the palate the wine is full bodied, rich and smooth. Good tannins for aging.
