Winemaker Notes
The nose reveals finesse and extremely pretty aromatics of blueberry, wild berry, blackberry, mocha, espresso and violet. The mouthfeel has great focus, but in a very seductive style. Layered with creamy sweet exotic flavors, dark chocolate, sweet black cherry and flowers reminiscent of good acidity, this wine finishes with great length and sexy powerful tannins. The oak integration is spectacular, which is great sign for quality. The classic Roy Estate terroir truly expresses her voice as the wine opens and continues to evolve in the glass. The elegance of flavors melts into your palate with ripe fruit characters, earthy tones and freshness, followed by a pleasuring measure of finesse.

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.
