"Aromas and flavors of forest floor, pine needles and underbrush, along with mulberry, blackberry and blackcurrant notes jump from the glass of the inky purple 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon Sycamore. This Rutherford site is one mile south of Bosché Vineyard. The wine is 87% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Merlot and Cabernet Franc, treated identically to the Bosché and aged 24 months in French oak. The most youthful of all three wines, it is dense purple in color and exhibits licorice, charcoal, graphite, and a foresty, autumnal vegetation note. Deep boysenberry fruit is also detected in this rich, full-bodied, structured, dense and powerful Cabernet Sauvignon."

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.
