Wine SpectatorThis asserts itself through flattery right from the start, with a gush of warmed cassis, aƧaĆ berry reduction and plum preserves laced liberally with mocha-accented toast and carried by very plush structure. This is weighty and brimming with fruit, while the toast takes a lengthy encore on the finish. A hedonistās dream. Drink now through 2034.

James SucklingSeductive nose of blueberries, mulberries, mint, tar, cinnamon, and cloves. Full-bodied, with a firm tannin structure. Very round and polished with a firm long finish. Layered and beautiful. Don't touch it for at least three years.

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, āCabā is responsible for some of the worldās most prestigious, age-worthy and sought-after ācultā wines. Somm SecretāDNA profiling in 1997 revealed that Cabernet Sauvignon was born from a spontaneous crossing of Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc in 17th century southwest France.
