Description
A compilation of Cabernet Sauvignon from all corners of the Napa Valley, this wine is fermented in 50% stainless steel and 50% barrel, then aged for 23 months in 80% new French oak. Ripe black cherry, plums, dusty minerals, dried violets, and cassis fill the senses, while this medium to full-bodied Napa Cab is layered with powerful tannins that have a crispness, grip, and tension. In the warm 2022 vintage, this structure suggests great ageing potential. Beyond its cellaring promise, the wine also offers immediate pleasure with its dark fruit and brown-spiced character.

Varietal
Cabernet Sauvignon
By far and away the most recognized and widely grown red wine grape varietal in the world is the Cabernet Sauvignon. First cultivated in the 18th century in France, this wonderful cross of Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc grapes has long since been the most important varietal for red wines across the globe. Now grown everywhere from its native France to the furthest reaches of the New World, Cabernet Sauvignon is adored and prized by wineries for its hardiness and resistance to rot, as well as its large and sharp flavors and wonderful capability for fine aging Indeed, many of the finest wines of history and the modern age would be simply unimaginable without Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, with the famed wineries of Bordeaux and other important regions using it as the primary grape in their oak aged produce. High tannin levels, acidity and powerful flavors are the characteristics most commonly associated with this varietal, however, when blended and slowly aged, it is capable of a world of flavors and aromas unmatched by any other grape.
