This lovely ruby-hued Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is bright and fruit-forward with concentrated red berry aromas. The palate is inviting and vibrant with raspberries, black cherries, rhubarb, and cassis on the entry, supported by notes of fresh mint, caramel, and cola spice, a nod to the vineyard sourcing and oak aging. Medium-bodied, soft, and broad, this Cabernet is structured with fine-grained tannins that lead to a darker-toned, black-plummy mid-palate, which dances alongside more subtle notes of mocha, cocoa, and forest floor, providing a long, earthy finish.

Technical info

Vintage

The 2020 vintage was a combination of a warm, dry winter, late March rains, and atypical circumstances beyond the typical season. The mild spring weather provided a great early start which was later tempered by the warmth of the summer growing season and the frequent heat spikes. 2020 with its low rainfall, low yields, and dynamic weather had set the stage for fruit with pronounced micro-climatic and aromatic complexity. The limited supply due to smaller yields of the resulting wines shows all the phenolic ripeness, acidic tension, and exceptional nuance of this challenging vintage.
