2020 Cabernet SauvignonNapa Valley

Our Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is usually comprised of all 5 of our Cabernet and Cabernet Franc Vineyards.  But with only 2 vineyards harvested before the tragic Glass Fire in October 2020, our Napa Valley Blend this year is made up of only fruit from the Lewelling Ranch and the Rafael Vineyard. 

100% Cabernet for the first time in a handful of years, lending a dark cherry and perfumed character to the wine, it is smooth, rich and savory.  It immediately reminds us of the 2016 bottling: precise and ageworthy.  We are enjoying it currently with a long decant.

Jeb Dunnuck write, "It is It has terrific purity in its darker fruits and is medium to full-bodied, has ripe tannins, plenty of mid-palate depth, and outstanding length. It should drink nicely for a decade."  2/16/2023  www.jebdunnuck.com
