"Bright ruby-red. Ripe aromas of redcurrant syrup, leather and smoke. Sweet, plump and lush, but not yet especially forthcoming. Flavors of currant, leather, graphite, cedar and mocha. Best today on the finish, which features substantial but sweet tannins and very good length. Winemaker Ted Lemon notes that this vineyard produces fruit with purer red fruit flavors that are more typical of the variety and less driven by the terroir than the Black Sears."

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.
A high-elevation Napa AVA above the fog line, producing intensely concentrated, firmly structured mountain Cabernet built for long aging.
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.
