Winemaker Notes
The Gaspare Estate Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is an elegant and powerful wine that is iconic of the Oak Knoll District. The aromas of blackberry and blueberry also have a note of brown sugar and cedar. The flavors are dark fruit with ripe, fruit sweetness. The structure of this wine is balanced with tannins that are robust, but not too aggressive.

Critical Acclaim 

Wine Enthusiast - 95pts
This tempting, concentrated yet well-structured wine packs abundant black cherries, black olives, rosemary and dark chocolate flavors into a velvety, strong frame of tannins and subtle acidity that holds it rather tightly.

Decanter - 94pts
From the Gaspare Vineyard in the Oak Knoll District of Napa Valley, this is an opulent Napa Cabernet. A nice showing in a challenging vintage. Alluring aromas of pure black fruits, herbs, oak and baking spices. Full-bodied with saturated black fruits redolent of blackberry jam and black currant, with potent tannins, and a long, kirsch-driven finish.
