Lot No. 1

2004 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

Louis M. Martini Lot No. 1 is a remarkable Cabernet Sauvignon from the esteemed Napa Valley, showcasing the region's exceptional winegrowing capabilities. This vintage, hailing from 2004, presents a deep ruby red color that entices the eye. On the palate, it expresses a full-bodied character with high acidity that invigorates the senses, accompanied by well-structured tannins that provide a firm backbone to the wine. The fruit intensity is prominent, revealing layers of ripe blackcurrants, dark plum, and hints of blackberry, complemented by subtle nuances of cedar and dried herbs. This Cabernet is beautifully dry, making it an ideal choice for pairing with rich meats or hearty dishes, while also offering the finesse to be enjoyed on its own.

It may be small, but when it comes to American wine regions, they do not come much bigger than Napa County. Home to the famous Napa Valley, which comprises most of its area, the Napa name has gained global recognition for its exceptional wines—especially its Bordeaux varieties. Most Napa County wineries choose to be more location-specific when labeling their wine, listing the name of sub-regions like Yountville, Los Carneros or Rutherford to capitalize on the name recognition. However, with such an abundance of high-quality grapes grown across the region, plenty of négociant winemakers blend fruit from different sub-regions. This gives Napa County wines excellent regional balance, taking advantage of different terroirs and mesoclimates.
