"After about 15 minutes, the wine came into its own. Aromatically, it emitted wafts of toasted walnut, roasted tomato and burnt rosemary around steady currant and red berry fruit, still lingering under the complex bouquet. In the mouth, it presented a veil of pepper and dried herbs around the lithe, refined core of fruit. It all lingered gently on the finish, balanced nicely with mouthwatering acidity. I gave it 92 points, non-blind, for its elegance over power. This was old-fashioned California Cabernet, and it came from a vintage that was controversial in its day."

The fourth-largest wine producer in the world, led by California. American fine wine is defined by ripe, expressive fruit and a spirit of innovation, with Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon among the most sought-after wines globally.
The world's most planted premium red grape, yielding deeply colored, tannic and structured wines with cassis, cedar and graphite notes. Firm tannins and acidity make it exceptionally age-worthy, whether as a varietal or the backbone of a Bordeaux blend.
