Note di degustazione
Consistent with last year’s review, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon has bright cassis fruit as well as notes of integrated oak and spice. Medium to full-bodied, balanced, and elegant, it still needs another 2-4 years of bottle age, but it’s unquestionably a beautiful wine.

Looking first at the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Northern Gale from winemaker Cameron Woodbridge, it’s 100% varietal and has impressive, medium-bodied aromas and flavors of red currants, cassis, tobacco, and lead pencil. Aged a full 28 months in just 30% new oak, it hits the palate with silky tannins, considerable elegance, and a pure, clean, lengthy finish. This is a classic, balanced, beautiful Napa Valley Cabernet to enjoy over the coming 10-15 years.
Produced from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon (clones 7 and 337), coming from Calistoga, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Stormy Weather spent 30 months in 100% new French oak barrels. It reveals a deep garnet-purple color and notes of baked berries, plum preserves, spice cake, blackcurrant pastilles and chocolate box with wafts of menthol and incense. Full-bodied and seductively textured with beautifully soft tannins, it has bags of earth-laced black fruit preserves and a long, spicy finish. 404 cases were made.
