Cabernet Sauvignon was the first wine produced by Rombauer Vineyards when the winery was founded in 1980. This bottling is made exclusively with Napa Valley fruit from both vineyards owned by the Rombauer family as well as carefully selected sites from some of the region’s top growers.

The fruit for this wine comes from vineyards in the St. Helena, Calistoga, Oakville, Stags Leap District, and Atlas Peak AVAs.

The grapes were carefully destemmed and optically sorted to ensure only perfect fruit made it into the wine. A cold soak extracted color and flavor before a combination of tank and barrel fermentation was used to a provide richer, more textured palate. The wine was gently basket-pressed before being racked to French oak barrels for malolactic fermentation and aging.

Tasting Notes:

The color is intense and beautiful, almost black with purple, reddish hues. Aromas of black cherry, cassis, piecrust, spice, and mint mingle and leap from the glass. The palate is full and concentrated with similar aromas but also featuring black currant and sweet red cherry with the mild presence of oak, seamlessly integrated. Signature finely structured tannins and a balanced acidity give way to a long finish which continues to build after that last sip.

Food Pairing:

Our favorite Joy of Cooking pairings for this wine include Braised Short Ribs, Lasagna Bolognese, and Pan Roasted Rack of Lamb.
