"Bottled in July of this year, the 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon comes all from estate fruit and is a mix of clones. It’s a smoking value in Napa Valley Cabernet and offers a dense purple color, notes of cassis, blackberries, tobacco, and hints of chocolate, medium to full body, and a rounded, supple texture. I’d happily drink bottles any time over the coming 10-15 years."

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.
2017 in Napa Valley saw a wet winter, a scorching Labor Day heat spike and October wildfires; Cabernet picked before the fires is ripe and generous, but quality is variable across this challenging vintage.
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.
