"Crushed flowers, dried herbs, tobacco, cedar and spices lift from the glass in the 1968 Cabernet Sauvignon, the first wine Bob Travers made from start to finish at Mayacamas. The 1968 is fully mature but also incredibly nuanced and beautiful. I imagine that in a blind tasting, the 1968 could easily be mistaken for a Bordeaux First Growth. What a treat it is to taste the 1968 today."

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.
