AROMATICS: Enticing aromas of ripe red berry fruits beautifully accompany subtle background notes of chocolate and star anise.
TASTE: On the palate, lush red cherries and vibrant blackberries dominate, leading to discrete layers of welcoming ripe citrus. The pleasing flavors and herbal notes are indulging and create a very dense and creamy mouthfeel.
Silky smooth, billowing tannins and a long satisfying finish are followed by a warm base tone of cinnamon and tobacco. A full-bodied Napa Valley red wine with a soft tannin structure, and perfectly balance acidity. CHÂTEAU NAPA is intended for enjoyment upon release to be shared amongst family and friends.
TERROIR: Single Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon from Rutherford, Napa Valley, California
VINTAGE OVERVIEW: The 2018 growing season in the Napa Valley began with heavy rainfall in early January followed by drier weather up until spring, with ample showers throughout March and April. Bloom occurred later in May than in previous vintages, with mild summer conditions facilitating even ripening and flavor development in the vineyard. Cooler weather pushed harvest into early October, developing wines of freshness, balance and purity that will be memorable for years to come.
WINEMAKING DETAILS: The 2018 CHÂTEAU NAPA was crafted from 100% Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine was aged for 20 months in 100% French oak barrels. Bottled on June 2, 2020, in 750ml bottles. Due to limited production, large formats are not available.
