RATINGS

93Vinous / IWC

...dark and plush. Black cherry, mocha, leather, licorice, chocolate and spice are all amped up in a lush, forward Cabernet... This is an especially bold, juicy style. Sweet floral and spice notes add freshness to the dark red cherry fruit in this expressive Cabernet Sauvignon.

93-95Jeb Dunnuck

...a charming, forward effort that has medium to full-bodied notes of cassis and high-toned blue fruits, flowers, forest floor, and hints of vanilla bean. It’s nicely balanced, has terrific tannins, and a great finish.

90Wine Spectator

This is ripe and very forward, with a rush of steeped plum and crushed blackberry notes leading the way, laced with a savory streak and singed wood hints.

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.
