“The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve captures all the personality of this site on the southern edge of St. Helena. Sweet, voluptuous and powerful, the 2014 is endowed with tremendous depth from start to finish. Inky red and purplish fruit, menthol, pine and sweet spices are front and center. The 2014 is an especially ripe, flamboyant wine, but all the elements are very nicely balanced. About 40% of the wine is fermented in oak uprights.”

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.
St. Helena is a warm valley-floor sub-AVA in Napa Valley, California, producing rich, ripe and generously fruited Cabernet Sauvignon of supple tannins, plush texture and classic Napa structure.
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.
