From Long Meadow Ranch in California's Napa Valley, the Cabernet Sauvignon 2016 is a refined 100% Cabernet Sauvignon sourced from estate vineyards on the Rutherford Bench and Mayacamas Estate on varied alluvial and clay-loam soils that capture Napa's signature vibrancy and depth. Hand-harvested grapes from the cool 2016 vintage—marked by moderate conditions yielding concentrated yet fresh fruit—undergo fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, followed by 18 months' aging in French oak barrels to enhance structure and purity. Committed to full-circle organic farming since 2011, this production yields a vibrant purple wine with remarkable authenticity and balance.
Tasting Notes A savory, spicy Napa Cabernet with good acidity revealing blackcurrant fruit seasoned with tobacco and vanilla, yielding a rich creamy texture and black chocolate mocha on a lingering finish. The nose offers blackberry, plum, cocoa nibs, green coffee, and fennel. On the palate, it is medium- to full-bodied and harmonious, with supple tannins, bright acidity, and flavors of dark cherry, licorice, and earth, leading to a long, balanced finish.
Awards and Accolades The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon earned 92 points from Wine Advocate for its authentic and well-grounded profile with black fruit, dried leaves, and earth.
Serving and Cellaring Serve at 16-18°C with 45 minutes of decanting to enhance aromas. Ideal with grilled beef, roasted lamb, or aged cheeses. Enjoy now through 2030, developing greater leather and earthy nuances over time.
