RATINGS

95Vinous / IWC

Black cherry, plum, graphite, scorched earth, licorice and gravel give this somber Cabernet a real sense of gravitas.

94Jeb Dunnuck

...loaded with ripe yet savory red and black fruits as well as complex notes of dried herbs, game, chocolate, and dried spices. Ripe, medium to full-bodied, and balanced...

93The Wine Advocate

...fragrant notes of candied violets, dark chocolate and tilled soil over notions of warm cassis and stewed plums plus a waft of cloves. Full-bodied, firm and richly fruited, it delivers lovely purity and great length.

93James Suckling

A fragrant nose of blackberries, blueberries, bay leaves, dark chocolate, bark, walnuts and cloves. Medium-to full-bodied with firm, creamy tannins. Fleshy and focused. Raw cocoa notes on the flavorful finish.

91Wine Enthusiast

Savory in style, this full-bodied red is mineral-driven in graphite and crushed rock, with a touch of dried herb and cassis. The vineyard is estate, from a warm appellation, and shows plenty of girth and weight on the palate.

PRODUCER

REGION

United States, California, Napa Valley, Oakville

Oakville AVA is one of the two or three most prestigious appellations in the United States. Located in the heart of Napa Valley, its 5,000 vineyard acres produce some of the world’s most acclaimed Cabernet Sauvignon, including such California “cult” Cabs as Screaming Eagle and Harlan Estate. Before those boutique producers rose to fame in the 1990s, Oakville was already renowned as home to Robert Mondavi, Opus One and Groth Vineyards, among others. Along with the famous wineries, there are premier vineyards in this AVA, including Martha’s Vineyard and To Kalon Vineyard. To Kalon was first planted in 1868 by H.W. Crabb, one of California’s first viticultural researchers, and he named the vineyard after the ancient Greek phrase for “most beautiful.” Though many grapes can be successfully grown in Oakville, Cabernet Sauvignon is king. Merlot and Chardonnay are also frequently planted. Oakville Cabs are prized for their richness, complexity and weight. Oakville was designated as an AVA in 1993.

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.
