Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
A full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon
with delicious flavors of black cherry, cardamom, subtle leather and soft herbal notes.
Vineyard Notes
Our 2013 Estate Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is sourced
from our family’s two vineyards located in the Rutherford
sub-appellation of Napa Valley. This Cabernet Sauvignon is
derived from both our Abela Estate (50%) and our Franklin
Estate vineyards. Both 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,
and round tannins and a silky smooth finish. This wine is
cellar ready - enjoy for the next 15 years.
Food Pairing Notes
Enjoy our Estate Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon with a
decadent ossobuco, venison risotto or pasta with a smooth
blue cheese and cream sauce.
