St Helena Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

Powerful

As POWERFUL as Elizabeth Taylor, these are the boldest reds of the bunch - inky, age-worthy wines that are dense and concentrated in flavor. These strong, heavyweight reds tend to be premium wines from thick-skinned grapes like Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel and Petite Sirah.

The grapes for the St. Helena Cabernet Sauvignon were sourced from two main vineyards on the West side of St. Helena on gravelly alluvial fan soil with excellent drainage, an essential component in high quality fruit development. The vines are less vigorous in this area of the Napa Valley, producing smaller berries and lower yields, for more concentrated, intense wines with good tannin structure. The wine is produced to showcase the terroir and distinct flavor characteristics of our cherished vineyards.

Our 2015 St. Helena Cabernet Sauvignon opens with a deep garnet-purple color in the glass. Savory aromas of smoked bacon, crème de cassis and a touch of earth; enticing flavors of cinnamon stick, cloves and dried flowers lead to a velvety, full-bodied mouth feel. A well-balanced wine with plenty of expressive, subtle flavor layers and a long, earthy finish.a velvety, full-bodied mouth feel.
