Tasting Notes

Our 2020 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is expressive and vibrant on the nose with ripe berry aromas of blackberry, black cherry, boysenberry and dark plum. On the palate, layers of juicy black currant, cassis, and black raspberry interweave with spiced notes of nutmeg, fennel seed, and cedar, a nod to the delicately integrated subtle oak tones, while a crushed earth character provides minerality, depth, and nuance. This wine is rich and full-bodied with a velvety texture and firm, fine-grained tannins, all supported by a balanced refreshing acidity that provides lift and evolves into a long, savory, mouthwatering finish. A truly satisfying Cabernet, with complexity and aging potential, exhibiting the extraordinary vineyard terroir that Napa offers.

James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com, November 2023

"Black currant and lead pencil aromas with some violet undertones. Full-bodied with lots of berries and open-grained tannins that are polished yet slight firm in the finish. Needs time to soften. Better after 2025."

      Vintage Notes
      The 2020 season is considered another successful vintage, despite being remembered for factors beyond the typical harvest season. It was a warm, dry winter and the rain and cooler weather didn’t arrive until the end of March. While the mild spring season was a great early start, summer brought very cool mornings and very warm days, but then harvest was interrupted by wildfires across California, which came as grapes started to be picked, and we were very fortunate that none of our vineyards were in the areas of the active fires. The red wine harvest started in late August, with the wines showing excellent development in cellars, reflecting the fine vintage year.
