RATINGS

99Jeb Dunnuck

...offers a seamless, full-bodied, structured style as well as heavenly notes of crème de cassis and black raspberry fruit. With subtle background oak, complex floral and graphite nuances, ultra-fine tannins, and thrilling concentration...

98Vinous / IWC

... Dense, powerful and explosive...endowed with tremendous depth. Crème de cassis, plum, new leather, licorice, dark chocolate and sweet spice...a real head-turner.

94James Suckling

A beautiful, rich red with blackberry and blueberry character. Full-bodied, dense and silky with lots of tar and wet earth to the intense fruit...

91The Wine Advocate

...features warm red and black plums, black berries and mulberries with touches of tobacco, earth and cedar chest. The palate is full-bodied and concentrated with chewy tannins and plenty of broody black fruit, finishing long and earthy.

REGION

United States, California, Napa Valley, St. Helena

St. Helena AVA is at the northern end of Napa Valley just north of Rutherford and south of Calistoga. It is a relatively warm climate thanks to the Mayacamas Mountains on its western edge, which protect it from Pacific Ocean fog. Out of the 9,000 acres in the appellation, some 1,500 are under vine. The principal grapes grown in St. Helena are the Bordeaux grapes of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot. St. Helena is considered prime wine producing territory, and it was one of the first important wine producing regions in northern California. The legendary Charles Krug founded his winery just north of the town of St. Helena in 1873, and today the appellation is home to many prestigious producers, including Abreu, Grace Family and Spottswoode.

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.
