Wappo Hill Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

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.

Wappo Hill is the spiritual center of Napa Valley; the highest point on the valley floor and the pinnacle of 4,000 years of civilization. Its mystical location was the apex of the Wappo land. The Wappo name honors the bravery, strength and wisdom of the founding people of Napa. The hill rises 666 feet, providing the Wappo a strategic perspective onto their cherished valley, with views from the San Pablo Bay to Mt. St. Helena. It was there they surveyed the map of Napa Valley that bore the Wappo name. We created a Cabernet Sauvignon that honors the Wappo tradition, that encapsulates the mystical power of the place and the spiritual energy of their ancestral land. Wisdom and elegance united in strength… This is Wappo Hill Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon.

Showcasing a radiant gem-like brilliance in the glass. This 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon strikes a profound violet shade that harmonizes seamlessly with its well-balanced acidity. It unveils a fragrant bouquets of blackberry, rose petals, and a subtle herbal nuance. The journey continues with the discovery of exotic baking spices intermingling with vivacious bursts of robust cherries that captivate the senses. As this exquisite wine concludes its performance, it leaves a lasting impression with a multifaceted finale, marked by fine-grained tannins and an expressive earthy essence.
