RATINGS

96Vinous / IWC

...heady, exotic wine. Crème de cassis, raspberry, rose petal, mint and blood orange build as this unctuous, creamy Cabernet shows off its personality...flashy, opulent Cabernet that is immensely pleasing to taste...

96James Suckling

Stewed plums, blueberries, cloves and dark chocolate...full-bodied and powerful with firm, broad and enveloping tannins. Velvety, polished layers of spiced fruit and chocolate.

94Jeb Dunnuck

...bright blueberry and blackberry fruits...leafy tobacco and spring flower nuances. With medium to full-bodied richness...elegant and lively, with a good spine of acidity, present tannins, and just overall great balance.

93+ The Wine Advocate

...cheery, carefree scents of Morello cherries, raspberry coulis, wild blueberries and fresh blackcurrants plus hints of black tea, dried lavender and crushed rocks. Medium to full-bodied, the palate delivers mouth-filling, bright, crunchy black and red fruits, framed by firm, grainy tannins and lively freshness, finishing long with bags of energy.

REGION

United States, California, Napa Valley, Oak Knoll

Oak Knoll AVA is one of Napa Valley’s newest appellations, having received that status in 2004. Located on the southern end of Napa Valley, the appellation is close to San Pablo Bay and therefore relatively cool. Of the 8,300 acres within the appellation, 4,150 are vineyards. The principal grapes grown are Merlot, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir and Riesling. Locals like to call Oak Knoll “the sweet spot” thanks to its location between the San Pablo Bay and its maritime climate and the much hotter climate of Napa Valley’s floor.

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.
