Best of the Napa Valley
2019 Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley
This rich, voluptuous and full-bodied 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon was an exciting blend for Miner’s winemaking team to create. It enabled them to source small quantities of fruit from Miner’s best vineyard sources across a range of renowned nested appellations. Prior to release, this Cabernet Sauvignon will have aged for more than 30 months in a mix of new and neutral French oak barrels before bottling, encouraging a balanced integration of each terroir. Lushly textured and well rounded, this delightful Cabernet Sauvignon showcases notes of dark berries and cocoa with a hint of toasted hazelnut. A lovely harmony of fruit, earth and spice.
