"This is the first wine I have tasted from Sang-Froid Vineyards. The site, formerly the James Johnson Vineyard, is located just off Lodi Lane in northern St. Helena and was planted in 1989 with Grace Clone Cabernet. The 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon is plush, ripe and voluptuous, as wines from this sector in St. Helena tend to be. Super ripe dark cherry, blueberry jam, cloves, spice and mocha infuse this creamy, voluptuous wine. Full-bodied and voluptuous, with tremendous fruit intensity and tons of near to medium-term appeal, the 2015 has much to offer. I can't wait to see where this goes in coming years. Winemaker Keith Emerson did a terrific job with the 2015."

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.
St. Helena is a warm valley-floor sub-AVA in Napa Valley, California, producing rich, ripe and generously fruited Cabernet Sauvignon of supple tannins, plush texture and classic Napa structure.
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.
