Napa Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon Red Wine is a classic red wine option from Napa Valley. It brims with black currant, violets, plum and black cherries with threads of honey, pipe tobacco, cedar, cloves and vanilla and leads to a full, velvety finish with fine-grained tannins and fresh, balanced acidity. This wine’s lush core of bright blackberry, toffee, dark cherry, cocoa, hazelnut and caramel complement its luscious full body, and it has expressive earthy and toffee notes on the mid-palate. The 2021 vintage received 91 points from James Suckling in December 2023. Open a wine bottle to pair with port-braised beef short ribs topped with mint leaves, steak with Argentine chimichurri or salmon with red wine sauce. The hand-harvested and hand-sorted grapes in this California red wine come from prime vineyards in some of Napa Valley’s best regions, including Atlas Peak, St. Helena, Oak Knoll and Rutherford. Commitment to sourcing fruit from the best regions in Napa ensures a classic wine. At the winery, the fruit is gently de-stemmed and lightly crushed. Following a maceration period to maximize color and flavor extraction and to polish the tannins, the wine is aged in 100% French oak barrels (30% new) for 19 months. This bottled wine has 14.2% alcohol by volume. With more than 40 years of winemaking heritage in California’s most fabled wine region, Napa Cellars embodies the classic, unmistakable style of Napa Valley. Veteran winemaker Joe Shirley crafts our wines from estate vineyards and coveted partner sites throughout Napa’s most revered sub-appellations.
