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.

WS "The Lost Vineyard exhibits evolved notes of melted licorice intertwined with cedar, tobacco leaf, chocolate, and copious quantities of black currant fruit. This dark ruby/purple-colored, lush, supple wine will provide delicious drinking over the next 5-8 years"
