"(Includes 4% Petit Verdot): Good deep ruby. Rich, complex aromas and flavors of cassis, black raspberry, mocha and truffle, lifted by mineral and violet notes. Rich, plush and fine-grained; wonderfully round and layered in the mouth. For such a lush, deep wine, this cabernet boasts outstanding grip and verve. Really echoes in the mouth and on the long, classically dry aftertaste, where the tannins coat the teeth without leaving any impression of dryness. Terrific cabernet, perhaps the most complete wine to date from Vineyard 29."

The fourth-largest wine producer in the world, led by California. American fine wine is defined by ripe, expressive fruit and a spirit of innovation, with Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon among the most sought-after wines globally.
California's most prestigious wine region, celebrated worldwide for opulent, structured Cabernet Sauvignon. Diverse soils and mountain-to-valley-floor sites yield wines of remarkable ripeness, power and longevity.
St. Helena is a warm valley-floor sub-AVA in Napa Valley, California, producing rich, ripe and generously fruited Cabernet Sauvignon of supple tannins, plush texture and classic Napa structure.
The world's most planted premium red grape, yielding deeply colored, tannic and structured wines with cassis, cedar and graphite notes. Firm tannins and acidity make it exceptionally age-worthy, whether as a varietal or the backbone of a Bordeaux blend.
