Napa Valley, an hour's drive north of San Francisco, California, is the most famous and prestigious wine region of the New World. The classic "Napa Cab", the archetypal Napa Valley wine, is a rich, oak-aged red with aromas of blackcurrant, boysenberry, liquorice, vanilla and smoky, bittersweet chocolate.
Cabernet Sauvignon wines usually demonstrate a handful of common character traits (see below for some caveats to this). The typical features are deep color, high tannin content, moderate acidity and aromas of black currant, tomato leaf, dark spices and cedarwood. The wines tend to range from medium-bodied to full-bodied.
Vineyard notes: "Tucked against the Mayacamas mountains in the celebrated Oakville AVA, with fertile, well-drained soil and afternoon shade, this superior site is home to the unique proprietary cabernet clone which has brought this vineyard legendary status."
