"The most impressive of the Bordeaux blends, the 2011 Widowmaker En Chamberlin Vineyard is all Cabernet Sauvignon and spent 18 months in 40-50% new French oak (same oak regime as all of the other Bordeaux blends). Classic Cabernet on the nose, with pure black currant and black cherry fruit, lead pencil shavings, earth, braised meats and hints of herbs, it flows onto the palate with a full-bodied, rich texture, thrilling mid-palate depth and a seamless, blockbuster finish. Loaded with potential, it’s up there with the best of the vintage."

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.
