Somm Note
Winemaker Notes
The aroma of blueberry , black fruit, licorice and minerals. Firm dry tannins are penetrating but give way to nicely defined flavors of dark berries and dark chocolate. The classic structure and purity give this wine real elegance. The layered flavors in the wine really require your attention.

Wine Spectator
Pushes ripeness to the max, with jammy black cherry and blackberry fruit woven together with cedary oak, anise and spicy floral notes. Shows some heat and raw tannins on the finish. Needs short-term cellaring.

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.
