2023 Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley, 750mL

The Oakville AVA in Napa Valley is considered a premier, world-class region for Cabernet Sauvignon due to its unique combination of well-drained, diverse soils, including gravelly alluvial fans and iron-rich volcanic soil, and a Mediterranean climate. Daily morning fog from San Pablo Bay combined with afternoon sun creates perfect, slow ripening conditions, resulting in powerful yet elegant, structured, and long-lived wines. Each Cabernet Sauvignon component adds to the flavors and texture of the finished wine. It offers expressive fruit character and lush tannins with layers of dark red and blue fruit aromas with hints of cocoa and dried herbs. This wine is rich and vibrant and can be enjoyed now, yet will age for 15+ years.
