"The 2017 Oakville Estate Proprietary Red Wine is composed of 88% Cabernet Sauvignon and 12% Cabernet Franc and aged for 22 months in French oak, 47% new. Deep garnet-purple in color, it leaps from the glass with gregarious notions of baked plums, crème de cassis and blueberry pie plus hints of sandalwood, menthol, cinnamon stick and cedar chest with a waft of dried lavender. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is filled with juicy black and blue fruit layers, framed by a suggestion of soft tannins and plenty of freshness, finishing long and spicy. 343 cases were made."

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.
A prestigious Napa sub-AVA on the valley floor, home to iconic estates and celebrated for richly textured, powerful Cabernet Sauvignon.
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.
An aromatic red grape lending perfume, red fruit and a leafy, savory edge. It thrives in the Loire and as a key blending partner in Bordeaux, especially Saint-Emilion.
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.
