About the wine
Our 2012 Napa Valley Generations Cabernet Sauvignon is a striking dark ruby color in the glass and opens with graceful aromas of blackberry, raspberry, and toasted oak that are interlaced with mocha and vanilla notes. This is a beautiful, velvety wine that displays flavors of marionberry and anise with a dense, full palate and a long, lingering finish. Enjoy this wine now or let it age gracefully over the next 20+ years.
The grapes for the 2012 Generations Cabernet Sauvignon are grown in some of the best vineyards and appellations in the Napa Valley. The majority come from two vineyards on the west side of St. Helena known for sandy soils that produce berries with sweet, ripe tannins. The remaining grapes were grown from a meticulously farmed knoll-top vineyard at
the corner of Oakville Cross Road and Silverado Trail as well as the Cafaro vineyard in Southeast Napa, right outside of Stags Leap. By blending grapes from these renowned appellations, we are able to make a wine that truly represents the best of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon and honors our five generation history of making wine in the Napa Valley.
