“Dark indigo color. Aromas and flavors of blackberry, black cherry, and vanilla with a round, bright, dryish full body and an effortless, interesting, medium-length finish with gritty tannins and heavy oak. A giant Napa Cabernet that will continue to develop with age.”
92 POINTS — Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate
“From Oakville, the 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Fortuna Vineyard is deep ruby/purple in color, shows loamy soil undertones, underbrush, blackcurrant, cedar wood and background oak. It is medium to full-bodied and, like most 2014s, it is savory, velvety textured, lush and ideal for drinking over the next 10-15 years.”
Winemaker’s Notes - Mike Smith
“We were truly excited about our return to the vineyard after over a decade and are just as excited about this wine. The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Fortuna Vineyard is a true expression of a great Napa Valley Cabernet from the Oakville floor. This extraordinary wine offers up an inky jam colored hue with wonderfully sweet notes of blue and black fruits co-mingled with floral notes. The wood seems perfectly integrated and the wine is full-bodied and multi-dimensional with an extremely long and pure finish.”
