Vineyard Notes
Our 2013 Abela Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is sourced
from our Estate vineyard at Rutherford Ranch Winery.
Located in the historic Rutherford sub-appellation, our
vineyards enjoy a microclimate and soil types which are
optimal for developing world-class Cabernet Sauvignon. Each
of our Estate vineyards are sustainably farmed and certified
under the CCSW - Certified California Sustainable
Winegrowing.
Production Notes
Following in the footsteps of 2012, Napa Valley’s 2013
harvest was one for the books. A warm Spring brought on an
early bud break. Consistent sunshine, moderate temperatures
(between 80° and 90°F) and the typical cool Napa evenings
and morning fog throughout the growing season produced
exceptional fruit with intense, bright berry flavors. As a
result, our winemaking team is proud to present an Estate
Cabernet Sauvignon with delicious dark fruit flavors, firm
and round tannins and a silky smooth finish. This wine is
cellar ready - enjoy for the next 15 years.
Food Pairing Notes
This is an opulent and food friendly Cabernet Sauvignon; enjoy
alongside Cornish game hen, a rib eye steak, or a Schwarzwald
tart.
