2022 Grounded Wine Co Steady State Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley

This dynamic Cabernet Sauvignon embodies the power and polish of Napa Valley’s premier vineyard sites. Deep garnet in color, it immediately impresses with a concentrated nose of blackberry compote, cassis, and ripe plum, seamlessly layered with aromas of cigar box, dark chocolate, and crushed violet.

On the palate, Steady State delivers bold intensity with refined precision. Ripe black fruit is framed by firm, well-integrated tannins and a vibrant acidity that energizes the wine’s structure. Hints of espresso, graphite, and toasted oak emerge through the mid-palate, adding depth and complexity without overshadowing the purity of fruit. The finish is long and resonant, marked by lingering notes of black cherry, anise, and warm spice.

Though already compelling in its youth, this wine is built for the cellar, with the potential to evolve gracefully over the next 15–20 years, revealing additional layers of finesse and savory nuance as it matures.
