A classic blend of Bordeaux varietals, this wine showcases the wonderful relationship between Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc, with each varietal complementing the other. Grown mostly in Rutherford, the unique characteristic of the appellation shines through with aromas of toasted oak, leather, and the smell of the ubiquitous Rutherford Dust. Slight floral aromas of violet and rose blend in with the earthy tones. Prominent flavors of red fruits including cranberry and pomegranate give the wine a lift on the palate, balanced with layers of dark chocolate, currant, and anise, with soft tannins lingering on the finish. Aged in 80% new French oak barrels for 21 months, the Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon exemplifies the best of blending, marrying attributes from the three varietals and vineyard site into a well-balanced, seamless wine.
93 Point Rating, Wine Enthusiast. Grown on the small, two-acre Immaculate Vineyard in the Coombsville AVA of southeast Napa Valley, this Cabernet Sauvignon is influenced by the cooler, temperate weather from the nearby San Pablo Bay, allowing for slower, more even ripening. An intense purple in the glass, the nose possesses cherry blossom and dragon fruit, with an intriguing background of mixed spices and chocolate. Earthy sage and dried herb meet a balanced layer of crisp red fruit and gentle tannins.

This powerful Cabernet opens with a nose of hints of clove and cinnamon and makes way for violets and tropical fruit. This wine explodes in the glass with bold dark fruit flavors. On the palate the 100% Cabernet displays black berries, plum and licorice. The medium acidity and integrated tannins elevate the mouthfeel of bold dark fruit, all resulting in a very long finish.
The Redmon Estate Vineyard is located in the heart of St. Helena. The fifty-year-old vines produce the grapes for this stunning Cabernet and once in your glass, this dark Morocco maroon-colored wine releases initial floral aromasof violet and roses followed by holiday spice. In the mouth it expresses vibrant blueberry, milk chocolate, vanilla and dark cherry pie. This results in a lush and smooth mouthfeel with dark fruit and silky softtannins, ending in a long finish.
