"Exemplifying power, elegance, approachability, and finesse, the 2022 vintage opens with delicate dusty rose, wild violet, red berries, caramel crème, and sweet baking spice from the well-integrated oak. The palate is plush and expansive, with a bountiful core of cassis, red currant, cherry, and ripe raspberry. A velvety-smooth, viscous mouthfeel and gentle signature “Rutherford Dust” tannins contribute to its refined structure and balance. The finish lingers with notes of pomegranate, kir royale, floral, and fresh mint. Incredibly drinkable upon release, this classic Napa Valley Cabernet will remain juicy and inviting for many years to come." —winemaker

"Each year, we set aside the best barrels of our Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley to produce Special Selection. Distinguished by extremely fine, velvety tannins and enjoyable upon release or with aging. A wine of structure with intense concentration of supple flavors and dark fruits. Special Selection is the only wine in the world honored twice as Wine Spectator magazine’s “Wine of the Year.”" —winemaker

"This 2023 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon will certainly evolve in the cellar, but it has been crafted to be enjoyed right away. Dark red fruits, red raspberries, graphite and exotic woods are just a few of the complexities that come forward immediately. The savory tones and freshness of Coombsville meld well with the generous black fruits and solid structure of Oakville. Careful tannin extraction, barrel aging for twenty months in 50% new French oak barrels, and botting without fining or filtration, ensure that the wine retains fruit intensity and maintains its bold texture and generous length." —winemaker

"The 2021 Austin Hope Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon displays ample blue fruit aromas accentuated by black plum, tobacco leaf and toasted oak. The palate textures are plush and expansive, delivering layers of black currant, blackberry and dried cherry with hints of vanilla bean and savory spices. Fine-grained tannins and lavish French oak top notes linger deep into a smooth, structured finish." —winemaker

"Deep garnet-purple colored with a beguiling bouquet of dark plum and blackberries combined with savory hints of tobacco, anise, and herbs de Provence. Full-bodied, broad, and plush with tremendous structure and intensity, displaying a palate full of blueberries, black and red currants, licorice, baker’s chocolate, coffee beans and quintessential “Rutherford dust.” Generous and tense, the bright lingering finish is lifted by nervy energy and vibrant acidity." —winemaker

"The Benchland Select blends grapes from two vineyards into a classically styled and traditional Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. Aromas or ripe black fruits including blackberry, cassis, and boysenberry lift from the glass along with hints of mocha and vanilla. On the palate, the wine is silken with concentrated and intense black fruit flavors supported by elegant, fine-grained tannins. The finish is rich and long with hints of dark chocolate and fig. This wine will continue to age gracefully in the bottle for another decade or can be enjoyed now." —winemaker
