Winemaker Notes
The pinnacle of the portfolio, this sustainably sourced Cabernet Sauvignon has a dense, deep purple hue indicative of its highly concentrated palate. The nose is rich, with powerful blueberry, currant, crushed rock and licorice aromas. Earthy flavors are framed by youthful, chewy tannins and a robust, dense, complex structure. This wine reflects the intensity of its mountain origins and has tremendous aging potential with a long, spicy finish and hints of baking spice.

Wine Enthusiast
This estate-grown, 100% varietal wine is well made and full bodied in its thick, billowy yet tannic structure. Baked blueberry and leather provide a dense, savory core marked by lasting cedar and black pepper impressions.

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.
