2016 Maroon Reserve Napa Cabernet
2016 Maroon Reserve Napa Cabernet

Maroon
2016 Cabernet Sauvignon
, Napa Valley
Coombsville, Estate Reserve

Violet black in color with aromas of rich fruity dark berries, honeycomb, vanilla, and hints of forest floor join together with bold flavors of black cherry and spiced nut.  Aged new French oak barrels for 30 months added complexity yet a balanced oak profile, layered palette, leaving you with its enjoyable persistent finish.  A light decanting for a couple hours will allow the wine fully open up... or cellar for 5-7 years for greater complexity.

Lush and concentrated Cabernet for pleasure now and many years hence. Pair with Braised Beef Short Ribs, Grilled Steak, Brisket, Meatballs and more...

Though rare, you may occasionally see an Estate Reserve Napa Cabernet for under $50,  but finding a single vineyard Napa Cab for this price is essentially zero.  Don’t let this one pass you by!

Napa Valley, Coombsville District
Coombsville District is one of the premier sub-regions within the Napa Valley, with its proximity to the Bay leading to a cooler growing season and more elegant wines.  While Cabernet does well in the warmer regions to the north in Napa, the Coombsville District presents a more elegant, refined Cabernet, with stunning depth.

Vintage
2016 was a near-perfect growing season and the vineyards were able to progress to perfect ripeness.

Winemaking
Grapes were hand-picked, destemmed and hand-sorted, followed by fermentation in tank for 10 days, with an additional six days of skin contact to extract tannins and flavors. The wine was aged for 30 months in oak barrels, 1/3 new French oak and 2/3 neutral barrels.

Aging: 33% new French oak barrels for 30 months
