Winemaker Notes
The 2012 Townsend Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is a classicNapa Valley offering with impressive ripeness strengthened bya European finesse and structure. The wine possesses a deeppurple color, sensational extract and richness, and abundantnotes of black currants, blueberries, blackberries, tobacco leafand spice characteristics. The tannins are well-integrated andsilky, but are clearly present in this full-bodied wine.

Rich and refined, with a suppleness and grace that lets the mix of loamy earth, cedar, dried berry and tobacco leaf stand out.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Townsend is a classic Napa offering with impressive ripeness buttressed by a European tannic structure. This dark ruby/purple-colored wine is still young, and less flattering than many 2012s. However, do not mistake that for a lack of quality or potential as this Cabernet offers up plenty of cassis, loamy soil, tobacco leaf and spice characteristics. Medium-bodied and concentrated, it plays it close to the vest so requires several more years of bottle age.

ANTICA is a symbol for Antinori California and expresses in Italian our family's passion for winemaking passed along 26 generations.
Napa Valley has a special place in my heart beginning with my first visit in 1966, having the free spirit coming from a new frontier, a wonderful history, and the potential to produce world-class wines.
Our wine estate is located on a high plain in the eastern mountains of the celebrated Napa Valley. Its hilly terrain, rocky soils, high elevations and beautiful landscape create above all an estate ideal for winegrowing.
