"The 2019 Estate Selection is a blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Cabernet Franc, and 5% each of Malbec, Petit Verdot and Merlot. It has a deep ruby color and pretty wafts of mint chocolate, thyme, violet, soy sauce and fennel with a core of ripe blackcurrants. The medium-bodied palate is velvety, expansive and seamless with energetic acidity and haunting herbal wafts on the finish. It's a very drinkable style that nonetheless has the potential to develop positively in bottle over the next decade."

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.
Yields dark, plush reds with ripe black fruit and soft tannins. A traditional Bordeaux blender, it found its greatest fame in Argentina.
Produces plush, supple, fruit-forward reds with plum and chocolate notes. Softer and earlier-maturing than Cabernet, it adds flesh and roundness to blends and stars in Right Bank Bordeaux.
