"The 1998 Cabernet Sauvignon Graveyard Hill, which spent 28 months in French oak, was harvested on November 6 (that may give you an idea of just how cool and late the vintage was). It possesses a dark black/purple color, a distinctive nose of scorched earth, and gravel-like notes similar to those found in Bordeaux's famed Haut-Brion. Medium to full-bodied, with sweet but firm tannin in addition to outstanding concentration, purity, and intensity, it is an impressive 1998. . ."

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.
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.
