Sebastiani Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

"Powerful but still showing a sense of restraint, the grapes for this cuvée are sourced from two vineyards just over the Monterey County line in Paso Robles. The Homan vineyard resides in the central El Pomar District. Winds from the Templeton Gap ensure a slower, even ripening season for grapes grown on gently-sloped hillsides. Mindy’s is located in the Adelaida District, an area well-known for providing structure and backbone. Homan yields a very red-fruited expression of Cabernet, Mindy’s tends to bring blue and black fruits to a blend, and the two sites complement each other well. Red currants, blue plums, black cherries, granite, and a light touch of refreshing mintiness are supported by firm-yet-smooth tannins." —winemaker

"This wine is sourced from two exceptional vineyards in Northern California: Crimson Ridge Vineyard in Lake County, and a historic family vineyard in Lodi famous for growing exceptional Cabernet Sauvignon and Petite Sirah. This wine showcases Cabernet Sauvignon’s versatility, highlighting both fantastic winegrowing regions. A bright, fruit forward wine with supple tannins makes this a crowd pleaser. Petite Sirah contributes beautiful color and spice, while splashes of Petit Verdot and Malbec round out the mouthwatering finish." —winemaker

"Sterling Heritage Collection Napa Cabernet Sauvignon is full and rich with a ruby red-garnet color, accompanied by fragrant aromas and bright flavors of red currant, black raspberry, dark cherry, cassis, and red berry compote. Delicate violet notes interweave with nuances of vanilla crème and caramel from the well-integrated oak aging. Full-bodied and balanced with fresh, mouthwatering acidity and silky, round tannins. Incredibly approachable and a true crowd-pleasing Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine finishes with length, depth, and lovely concentration" —winemaker

"The 2021 La Storia Cab has a dense ruby-purple color followed by abundant varietal aromas and flavors of blueberries, blackberry, and black licorice with hint of herbs and ripe olives. The French oak aging contributes aromas of vanilla, cocoa dust and slight toast. The mouth feel is medium dense, fresh and juicy with balanced acidy and very soft tannins for a young wine." —winemaker

"Expressive in the glass, with aromas of blackberries, cassis, and a hint of graphite. In the mouth, the wine is packed with flavors - offering generous black cherry, espresso, blackberries, and a hint of saddle leather layered amongst substantial broad tannins. The finish is perfumed with toasted oak char and a lingering vanilla." —winemaker

"Harvested from vineyards across Napa Valley, this bold Cabernet Sauvignon is a blend of warmer climate hillside vineyard fruit and valley floor fruit creating a wine that celebrates the region’s diversity and complexity. A deep dark purple in the glass, this wine opens with a bouquet of boysenberry, bourbon and toasted vanilla aromas with a waft of caramel. Full-bodied with a plush entry, layers of brown sugar, cocoa, mulling spices and currants fill the mouth and are complemented by rich, round tannins. The finish is long and smooth." —winemaker

"Cabernet’s classic aromas and flavors star in the 2021 Faust Napa Valley. Delicate violet notes lift the dark fruit on the nose—black currant and briary blackberry—layered with pungent forest botanicals, leafy tobacco, graphite, and toasted spice. The velvet of fine-textured tannins backs expressive red fruit flavors on a complex palate, both sweet and savory with mocha and minerality, juicy ripe fruit and freshness." —winemaker

"Color is deep red with a slight dark purple hue. Roasted berry fruit, juniper, sandalwood, cassis, and slight pine aromas. Palate is bright red berry fruit with a chocolatey rich depth and crunchy acidity. Finish lingers with dusty chocolate tannins and dense raspberry notes." —winemaker

"Chocolate-blackberry ganache, cranberry preserves, sweet mint, black licorice, dark olive, new leather, mahogany. Palate is sleek and supple, firm, fine-grain, polished tannins, with a complex, and classy finish." —winemaker

"Always an appealing Cabernet Sauvignon, this deep plum-colored vintage showcases a gorgeous Bordeaux-varietal blend, with sandy, fine-grained tannins, and a plush, velvety-rich mouthfeel. Built to age and develop further complexity over time, the wine is ripe and juicy in its youth with aromas and flavors of vibrant boysenberry, strawberry preserves, and cassis alongside earthier notes of crushed stone, iron, bay laurel, and cedar. Baking spice elements from the well-integrated oak work well with the more traditional Knights Valley tones of wild lavender and bittersweet chocolate. Poised and lively with a structured, juicy, mouthwatering acidity and a finish that’s elegant, long, savory, and pleasing." —winemaker
