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.

Winemakers Notes

A powerful red wine, with rich layers of savory blackberry, black cherry and ripe plum. The well-balanced complexity of the fruit leads to a refined toastiness, punctuated by a lingering finish worth of the time and effort that went into the creation of this full-flavored, full-bodied gent of a wine.

From the Beverage Testing Institute World Wine Championships:

86 points. Silver Medal. Aromas of vanilla wafer cookie, current jam and mincemeat pie follow through on a round, supple entry to a dry-yet-fruity medium-to-full body with menthol, mint, and talc notes. Finishes with a hint of sour cherry, raisin and a chewy tannin fade (tasted on Jun-29-2009)
