"From a high-elevation site on Howell Mountain with thin, rocky soils that typically produces one of the wilder, more brooding wines in the range, the 2016 Zinfandel Rattlesnake Ridge is no exception. Unfurling in the glass with aromas of raspberries, cherries, wood smoke, grilled meat and burnt sage, the wine is full-bodied, deep and chunky, with a chewy chassis of stony structuring tannins, a layered mid-palate and a concentrated core of sun-kissed fruit."

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.
California's most prestigious wine region, celebrated worldwide for opulent, structured Cabernet Sauvignon. Diverse soils and mountain-to-valley-floor sites yield wines of remarkable ripeness, power and longevity.
A high-elevation Napa AVA above the fog line, producing intensely concentrated, firmly structured mountain Cabernet built for long aging.
2016 in Napa Valley capped a run of drought years with a near-ideal, balanced growing season; the Cabernets are ripe, structured and classically proportioned, powerful yet balanced, with fine tannins and excellent aging potential.
California's heritage red, producing bold, brambly, high-alcohol wines of jammy dark fruit and spice, often from old vines.
