RATINGS

97Vinous / IWC

...possesses striking aromatic intensity and breadt... Crushed rocks, red fruit, dried flower and sage are all laced together in a beautifully sculpted, powerful Cabernet Sauvignon.

97Jeb Dunnuck

...incredible purity of fruit as well as a sense of elegance paired with richness. Complex notes of smoked blue fruits, bouquet garni, chocolate, bay leaf, and flowers emerge from this full-bodied, silky Cabernet that has plenty of ripe tannins as well as a great finish.

95+ The Wine Advocate

...scents of crème de cassis, mocha, blackberry pie and underbrush with hints of tar, new leather and cedar chest. Full-bodied, the palate is packed with muscular fruit, framed by firm, grainy tannins and just enough freshness, 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.
