"Good deep red. Pungent aromas of redcurrant, sandalwood incense and resiny eucalyptus. Then suave and creamy in the mouth, with complex flavors of redcurrant, mint and chocolate. Obviously minty, but this ripe, supple cabernet has the courage of its herbal convictions. This reminded me of a maturing Bordeaux. Finishes with smooth tannins and lingering note of chocolate."

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 benchmark Napa AVA known for structured Cabernet with a signature 'Rutherford dust' - a fine, dusty tannin - and classic cassis fruit.
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.
