Robert ParkerThe 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Suscol Springs is blended of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Merlot. Deep garnet-purple in color, exuberant notes of fresh blackberries, boysenberry preserves and blackcurrant pastilles rocket from the glass, followed by hints of sautéed herbs, forest floor and black olives. The medium to full-bodied palate is intense and energetic, featuring finely grained tannins and a refreshing backbone, finishing long and lifted.
Napa Valley, nestled in the picturesque landscape of Northern California, is renowned worldwide as a mecca for wine enthusiasts, with its crown jewel being the illustrious Cabernet Sauvignon. Here, the warm, sun-drenched days and cool, breezy nights create the perfect environment for grapes to flourish, resulting in wines bursting with flavor and character. Beyond its famed Cabernet, Napa cultivates an array of grape varieties, from elegant Chardonnays to robust Merlots, each expressing the region's unique terroir. Winemakers, akin to artisans, skillfully blend these varietals, crafting wines that are as diverse as they are delightful. With over 400 wineries to explore, including iconic names like Opus One, Napa offers an immersive tasting experience, where every sip tells a story of passion, innovation, and sustainability. Cheers to Napa Valley, where the art of winemaking reaches its pinnacle!
A noble variety bestowed with both power and concentration, Cabernet Sauvignon enjoys success all over the globe, its best examples showing potential to age beautifully for decades. Cabernet Sauvignon flourishes in Bordeaux's Medoc where it is often blended with Merlot and smaller amounts of some combination of Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Petit Verdot. In the Napa Valley, ‘Cab’ is responsible for some of the world’s most prestigious, age-worthy and sought-after “cult” wines. Somm Secret—DNA profiling in 1997 revealed that Cabernet Sauvignon was born from a spontaneous crossing of Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc in 17th century southwest France.
