WINEMAKER’S NOTES:
Our second vintage of our Napa Valley Cabernet brings together wines from both our Howell Mountain and Mount Veeder Estates. This wine is dark with a rich purple hue. Aromatics of blueberry and black raspberry evolve into warm spices and subtle black tea. slight scent of cigar box and beautiful oak tones. The flavors are rich, pure and powerful. Seamless tannins with lush, long lasting fruit make this wine enjoyable now or over the ages.
ACCOLADES:
93 Points – Antoni Galloni
“O’Shaughnessy’s 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley) is once again one of the very best wines readers will find in its price range. A host of sweet red cherry, plum, blueberry, rose petal and mocha notes flesh out as this super-inviting, luscious Cabernet shows off its compelling and totally alluring personality. Merlot and Malbec both play significant roles in the blend and also give the wine a striking core of mid-palate sweetness to balance the firm mountain tannins. The Napa Valley Cabernet is a blend of fruit from estate vineyards on Howell Mountain and Mt. Veeder.”
