RATINGS

95James Suckling

Blueberries, violets, dark chocolate and potpourri infuse the aromas and flavors. Full-bodied, velvety in texture...

95Jeb Dunnuck

...gorgeous black cherry and darker currant fruits as well as some ripe tobacco, iron, leather, and spicy nuances. Its oak is beautifully integrated, it's medium to full-bodied, has ripe, building tannins, and a great finish.

94Wine Spectator

...rich layers of warmed cassis, plum reduction and graphite that cruise through slowly. Picks up subtle hints of violet, alder and sweet bay along the way before finishing with warm earth and melted licorice notes.

94Wine Enthusiast

Lush and layered...intensely rich and handsomely oaky...wraps full tannins around dark chocolate, espresso and black cherries for a huge palate impression. Toasted oak, toasted almonds, graphite and tobacco mingle on the palate and linger on the finish.

93The Wine Advocate

...a dark, reasonably intense wine, loaded with cedar and cassis. It's full-bodied and ripe, plummy yet savory, with soft tannins and a long, oaky finish.

93Vinous / IWC

...gorgeous. Rich, sumptuous and super-aromatic...marries fruit intensity with tons of savory nuance. Plum, bay leaf, spice, tea leaves, mocha, tobacco and cedar are some of the notes...

93Decanter Magazine (points)

...exhibits a mix of power and grace...tannins are intense, showing muscle and grip. Fragrant white pepper and red currants with raspberry and spiced plums mingle with dusty herbs and minerals—great length and tension.

17+ Jancis Robinson

Rich black fruit, sweet vanilla and warming spice on the nose. Richly spiced on the palate with layers of ripe black fruit. The acid is perfectly balanced with the fruit concentration and keeps it from being overly heavy. Nicely done.

PRODUCER

Signorello

Signorello Estate is on the Silverado Trail in Napa. It was founded by Ray Signorello Sr. in the 1970s as a vineyard. Signorello was a businessman based in San Francisco and Vancouver, B.C., but he bought the 100-acre estate with the idea of growing quality grapes to source to local producers. A bountiful harvest in 1985 prompted the family to try their own custom crush, and from then on they made and sold their own wines. Today the estate is still run by the family, now headed by Ray Signorello Jr. The estate’s 40-acre vineyard is planted to Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Syrah, Viognier, Chardonnay, Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc. The Cabernet Sauvignon blend Padrone is the flagship wine and it typically earns ratings in the low to mid-90s from wine reviewers.

REGION

United States, California, Napa Valley

Napa Valley AVA is the most famous winemaking region in the United States and one of the most prestigious in the world. With nearly 43,000 acres of vineyards and more than 300 wineries, it is the heart of fine wine production in the United States. Winemaking started in Napa in 1838 when George C. Yount planted grapes and began producing wine commercially. Other winemaking pioneers followed in the late 19th century, including the founders of Charles Krug, Schramsberg, Inglenook and Beaulieu Vineyards. An infestation of phylloxera, an insect that attacks vine roots, and the onset of Prohibition nearly wiped out the nascent Napa wine industry in the early 20th century. But by the late 1950s and early 1960s Robert Mondavi and other visionaries were producing quality wines easily distinguishable from the mass-produced jug wines made in California’s Central Valley. Napa Valley’s AVA was established in 1983, and today there are 16 sub-appellations within the Napa Valley AVA. Many grapes grow well in Napa’s Mediterranean climate, but the region is best known for Cabernet Sauvignon. Chardonnay is also very successfully cultivated, and about 30% of the AVA’s acreage is planted to white grapes, with the majority of those grapes being Chardonnay,

TYPE

Red Wine, Cabernet Sauvignon

One of the most widely grown grape varieties, it can be found in nearly every wine growing region. A cross between Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc. It’s a hardy vine that produces a full-bodied wine with high tannins and great aging potential.
