Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Deep ruby red color with fine polish and brightness. This is a quite powerfully aromatic wine. There is a very fine tobacco/cedar note mixed with red berries and cassis.

Professional Ratings

  • 90
    This still young, promising wine exhibits admirable extraction and richness. The dark plum color with no lightening or amber is followed by a wine displaying copious quantities of high class French oak, and gobs of black fruit, full body, and layers of ripe fruit buttressed by adequate acidity, and firm, but unobtrusive tannin. An intriguing licorice and cassis character unfolds as the wine sits in the glass. The finish is long, pure, and impressive.

One of the most prestigious wines of the world capable of great power and grace, Napa Valley Cabernet is a leading force in the world of fine, famous, collectible red wine. Today the Napa Valley and Cabernet Sauvignon are so intrinsically linked that it is difficult to discuss one without the other. But it wasn’t until the 1970s that this marriage came to light; sudden international recognition rained upon Napa with the victory of the Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars 1973 Cabernet Sauvignon in the 1976 Judgement of Paris.

Cabernet Sauvignon undoubtedly dominates Napa Valley today, covering half of the land under vine, commanding the highest prices per ton and earning the most critical acclaim. Cabernet Sauvignon’s structure, acidity, capacity to thrive in multiple environs and ability to express nuances of vintage make it perfect for Napa Valley where incredible soil and geographical diversity are found and the climate is perfect for grape growing. Within the Napa Valley lie many smaller sub-AVAs that express specific characteristics based on situation, slope and soil—as a perfect example, Rutherford’s famous dust or Stags Leap District's tart cherry flavors.
