    Somm Note

    Winemaker Notes

    Our Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is a full-bodied, fruit-forward wine that shows great structure with balanced acidity. On the nose, cassis, plum and crushed berry aromas are layered with a slight vanilla note and a hint of spicy oak. The palate features red fruit flavors that carry through the mid-palate with lingering cassis flavors on the finish. Our Cabernet Sauvignon is fermented warm with regular pump-overs during the ferment to extract color, flavor and tannin. A portion of the wine was aged in a mix of French and American oak barrels.

    Pair with grilled lamb kebabs with mint sauce, prime rib sandwich served with horseradish or filet mignon with roasted eggplant and tomato ragout.

    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.
