2019 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley

SOLD OUT

Sourced from both the valley floor and the mountains of Napa Valley, this Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon showcases Napa Valley, as a whole. Enticing aromas of black cherry are met with a mouthful of cassis and wild blueberries. A long, lingering finish of fresh espresso. Enjoy a glass with an equally powerful pairing, such a medium rare filet with wild fennel and carmelized onions.

A Winery Exclusive Selection

About

FROM THE WINEMAKER

“With fruit sourced from among the most exquisite AVAs of Napa Valley, including Oakville, Rutherford, and Mount Veeder, this wine is the essence of Napa Valley and shows it is worthy of the reserve designation. Incredibly nuanced with a gorgeous structure, aromas of black cherry, cassis and toasted vanilla oak entice the senses. The lush, full palate is intensely layered with the same black cherry and cassis flavors, along with a lingering coffee bean finish and well-integrated tannins. A Cabernet of this quality and depth is destined to continue to evolve and reveal more of its personality for years to come..”

- Stephanie Pope, Winemaker

VINTAGE NOTES

Vintage 2019 began slightly later than normal in some areas, but nonetheless delivered superb results. Spring was marked by occasional rains, which brought welcome soil saturation, and cooler temperatures, which allowed fruit to mature at a steady pace. Summer helped the grapevines to ripen and catch up from their late start. The warm days and cool nights of the fall allowed gradual sugar accumulation and longer hang times, promising fruit of the highest quality with structural beauty from balanced tannin, sugar and acid levels. Harvest began slightly later than normal in some areas with fruit picked at its peak, promising exceptional flavor in bottle.

RECOMMENDED PAIRINGS

"Something so powerful needs a companion that can also stand tall, so this is clearly a case where a bit of grilled, charred medium rare beef of the highest quality, presented with wild fennel, caramelized onions and leafy, earthy grains would be simply wonderful."

- Chad Hendrickson, Executive Chef
