Layers of dark fruit, such as blackcurrant and plum, intertwine with inviting notes of baking spices and a touch of toast, contributing to its robust fruit intensity. The tannins are firm yet approachable, providing a solid backbone while allowing for a smooth finish. This delightful red blend is dry, making it an excellent choice for pairing with hearty dishes or savoring on its own, celebrating the artistry of winemaking in Oakville.

Region:


Oakville

One of the most highly esteemed wine districts in the United States, Oakville is at the heart of the Napa Valley and is renowned for its red dirt and near-perfect climate. Warmer than Yountville and Stag's Leap but cooler than Rutherford, producers in Oakville can craft deeply flavored wines full of nuance. Merlot and Zinfandel thrive here, but the standout grape is, of course, Cabernet Sauvignon. Oakville has a surprisingly large concentration of producers making "cult status" Cab Sauv with loyal followers. The AVA's zingy, tropical-tasting Chardonnay and zesty Sauvignon Blanc are also highlights.
