". . . there is still plenty to enjoy in the ’75 York Creek cabernet, as the wine is a bit younger than the 1974 at this point in its life and will continue to cruise along quite a bit longer than its older sibling. The impressively complex bouquet is a blend of black cherries, cassis, leather, cigar ash, a nice base of soil, a touch of black truffle, celery seed and charred wood. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and just a touch leathery . . . with a superb core of fruit, great soil signature, still some tannins and fine length and grip on the finish. There is plenty of vigor here, so the wine will continue drinking well for several decades."

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.
