"The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon The Widowmaker En Chamberlin Vineyard is a spectacular wine by famed vigneron Christophe Baron. The beautiful, hedonistic nose features green bell pepper, smoke, black cherry cordial and wild mushroom tones. The palate is silky and elegant, with a bright sense of minerality. Ripe dark fruits combine with black tea, exotic spices and smoky undertones and a rich mouthfeel. Layered and complex, this beautiful effort will continue to evolve well for a decade or more. In 2018, Christophe Baron and Elizabeth Bourcier created viscous and dense wines that display plenty of finesse. Whether it is the captivating 2018 Red Wine God Only Knows or their big and bombastic, stony 2018 Bionic Frog, this is a lineup of standout performers from the RosĂ© to Viognier to Cabernet Sauvignon. Baronâs former assistant, Elizabeth Bourcier, has been promoted to Resident Vigneronne (overseeing all winemaking), so she will have an even bigger impact in vintages to come. For those who enjoy a richer style of Cayuse, look no further than the 2018 lineup."

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.
