2023 Ashes & Diamonds Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley

The 2023 Ashes & Diamonds Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley comes from select vineyards in the Oak Knoll District with alluvial soils made of volcanic and marine sediments. The wine is made with 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, cold-soaked for 18 days on native yeasts, then aged for 16 months in oak (28% new French, 8% new Austrian, and the rest neutral). It has notes of blackcurrant, cherry, cedar, and dried herbs, with a firm but elegant texture, bright acidity, and a lively, mineral-tinged finish. The alcohol sits around 14.3%, reflecting the winery’s commitment to a balanced, old-school Napa style. This Cabernet pairs beautifully with roasted lamb, grilled steak, mushrooms, or aged cheeses, and benefits from being served at around 60-62 °F.
