The tannins are notably structured, providing a firm backbone that supports the wine's complexity while ensuring a smooth finish. This Cabernet Sauvignon presents a dry profile, making it an excellent choice for pairing with hearty dishes or savoring on its own. Each sip reveals the distinctive terroir of Napa Valley, culminating in a delightful and memorable tasting experience.

Region:


Napa Valley

Napa gained international acclaim following the Judgement of Paris in 1976, when its wines defeated its French counterparts in a blind tasting. Napa's signature wines are Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and various Bordeaux blends, but many other varieties, such as Pinot Noir, Zinfandel, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc also thrive here. With 16 sub-AVAs and a Mediterranean climate with rich geology, Napa is a winemaker's dream. The winegrowing region runs between the Mayacamas Mountains and Vaca Mountains for 30 miles, from Calistoga to Los Carneros. Napa has a wide array of soil types for such a small region, from volcanic foothills to alluvial valley floors, which help to produce varied and complex wines.
