2017 Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley

2017 Cabernet Sauvignon
A Bold and Layered Napa Classic for Winter

The 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon is a striking example of Napa Valley’s ability to produce bold, structured wines with depth and complexity. Aged in 100% new oak barrels—including French, Russian, and American oak—this vintage showcases a seamless balance of fruit, spice, and texture. Awarded 93 points by The Tasting Panel, it is a wine that leaves a lasting impression, especially when shared during winter gatherings and evenings meant to linger.

The nose opens with enticing aromas of blueberry and cedar, accented by a subtle hint of basil that gives way to deeper notes of leather and slate. On the palate, rich dark fruit flavors unfold alongside a touch of balsamic, adding layers of complexity and depth. Silky tannins create a luxurious mouthfeel, while the finish delivers a lingering note of warm spice. Thoughtful oak aging contributes nuances of vanilla and toast, resulting in a Cabernet that is both powerful and refined.

This Cabernet pairs beautifully with winter’s heartier, comforting dishes. Enjoy it with braised short ribs, herb-crusted lamb, or roasted venison to complement its depth and structure. It also shines alongside truffle pasta, wild mushroom risotto, or rosemary-roasted root vegetables. For cheese pairings, savor it with aged cheddar, blue cheese, or smoked Gouda. Whether enjoyed fireside or shared at a winter table, this Cabernet brings layered richness, warmth, and timeless elegance to the season.
