Description

This year's wine from Miner Family Winery comes from the heart of Napa Valley, Oakville, where Cabernet Sauvignon is king. The combination of the Oakville Appellation's natural capability to produce fantastic Cabernet Sauvignon and our winemaking team's thoughtful vineyard site selection, makes for an incredibly balanced wine that not only demonstrates strength and structure but also a softer side. Our Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon shows impressive depth, richness and refinement on the palate. Generous black fruit flavors are accented by hints of dried herb, mocha and cedar against a backdrop of plush tannins, making it a quintessential Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon. In 2013, after seventeen years as head winemaker for Miner, Gary Brookman passed the torch on to Stacy Vogel, and officially became General Manager and Director of Winemaking, leaving Stacy to take on the reigns as head Winemaker. Now having both Gary’s old world philosophy and Stacy’s fresh innovative take on winemaking, Miner is able to produce wines that encapsulate the indelible fingerprints of the terroir using new technology and flare. These two winemakers, who have combined efforts for the first and possibly only time on our 2013 Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon, are sure to make an unforgettable wine.
