RATINGS

93Jeb Dunnuck

Classic cool-climate Cabernet herbal notes as well as plenty of charcoal, graphite, and tobacco...medium to full-bodied and has terrific purity as well as ultra-fine tannins.

92Wine Spectator

Juicy and open, with a range of sassafras, sweet bay leaf, anise, boysenberry and blackberry aromas and flavors that race along... Shows good energy throughout.

92James Suckling

Blackberries, plums, forest-floor, cloves, violets and cigar box on the nose. Full body with velvety tannins. Fruity and fleshy with a rich core of black fruit and a spicy-chocolate edge. Delicious finish.

REGION

United States, California, Napa Valley, Oak Knoll

Oak Knoll AVA is one of Napa Valley’s newest appellations, having received that status in 2004. Located on the southern end of Napa Valley, the appellation is close to San Pablo Bay and therefore relatively cool. Of the 8,300 acres within the appellation, 4,150 are vineyards. The principal grapes grown are Merlot, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir and Riesling. Locals like to call Oak Knoll “the sweet spot” thanks to its location between the San Pablo Bay and its maritime climate and the much hotter climate of Napa Valley’s floor.

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.
