Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

On the nose, Liparita Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon shows notes of red cherry, pomegranate, licorice, and berry. The taste is Oakville Cabernet at its best with allspice and black pepper with a long and lush finish of vanilla and fruit.

Professional Ratings

  • 93
    A beautiful Cabernet, showing classic Oakville ripeness in its flavors of black and red berry, currant and spice. There’s also a fine, tangy note of green olive that brings an earthiness to the fruit. The structure is seamless, the tannins smooth and flashy.

Liparita, California
Liparita Cellars was established in the early 1980s on Howell Mountain by owner Bob Burrows and winemaker and vineyardist Gove Celio. When the original vineyard was planted back in the late 1800s, it was named Liparita, or "little Lipari" because of the tremendous similarity between the red and white soils of Howell Mountain and those of the volcanic Lipari Islands off the coast of Sicily. Liparita's wines are still created using fruit from some of the most unique and exciting vineyards in the Napa Valley. Liparita Cellars plans to produce 10,000 case of wine - 4500 of Cabernet Sauvignon, 3500 Merlot and approximately 1000 cases each of Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc.

A noble variety bestowed with both power and concentration, Cabernet Sauvignon enjoys success all over the globe, its best examples showing potential to age beautifully for decades. Cabernet Sauvignon flourishes in Bordeaux's Medoc where it is often blended with Merlot and smaller amounts of some combination of Cabernet Franc, Malbecand Petit Verdot. In the Napa Valley, ‘Cab’ is responsible for some of the world’s most prestigious, age-worthy and sought-after “cult” wines. Somm Secret—DNA profiling in 1997 revealed that Cabernet Sauvignon was born from a spontaneous crossing of Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc in 17th century southwest France.

Napa Valley, California

Home to some of the most sought-after Cabernet Sauvignon in America, Napa Valley’s Oakville district stretches across the center of Napa's valley floor and foothills between the Vaca and Mayacamas Mountains. This AVA is home to the legendary To Kalon Vineyard and Martha's Vineyard, as well as many powerhouse wineries including Screaming Eagle, Silver Oak, Robert Mondavi, Opus One, Far Niente and Groth.

The climate is generally warm and agreeable, resulting in year after year of favorable vintages. Summer days see a gentle tug of war between warmer inland air and the cool air coming in from the San Pablo Bay, creating an ideal environment to grow red varieties. Oakville's diverse soils, namely ancient sea bedrock, clay and gravel, are well-drained, and perfect for high-caliber viticulture.

Cabernet here is often bottled varietally but is also popular in Bordeaux Blends. Oakville wines are known for their silky, sensual textures, structured tannins, dark and brooding fruit and lovely aromatics. These age-worthy and prestigious wines are favored by collectors throughout the world.
