RATINGS

94The Wine Advocate

...hints of cedar and fresh mulch, but those merely accent the lovely core of cassis fruit. Full-bodied and silky, it combines ample length and focus with an overall sense of elegance and harmony.

94Wine Enthusiast

Cherry, cassis and dusty tannin accent a bright and persistent core of woody oak and powerfully structured notes of crushed rock and iron.

93Wine Spectator

Ripe and nicely defined, with plum, cassis and red licorice notes that meld steadily as they move through, with cocoa-accented toast. Ends with a nice tug of loam.

93Vinous / IWC

Super-ripe blackberry, chocolate, new leather, spice and licorice lend quite a bit of character.

93Jeb Dunnuck

...lots of earthy cassis, blueberry, tobacco, and chocolaty nuances as well as medium to full-bodied richness and depth, a round, supple mouthfeel, ripe tannins, and a more savory, complex style that's already drinking nicely.

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.
