2016 | Ehlers Estate | Cabernet Sauvignon

This elegant 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon will be a crowd favorite! Deep garnet-purple layers show in this exquisite blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Aromatically, this wine is very complex and intense, with scents of boysenberry, cassis, blueberries, spice box, vanilla, and cocoa powder. This wine is medium bodied with balanced acidity that enhances the red fruit character. It has a lingering finish of red fruit jam, cedar, and a mineral finish. The tannins are firm but the finish is smooth.

Reviews:

• Wine Spectator: Features old-school hints, with embers of mint and sage leading off, followed by restrained red currant and damson plum fruit. The back end opens up to reveal more richness, though a light iron spine guides this gently. Best from 2020 through 2030.

Producer Information

The Ehlers Estate vineyard is located on an historic winegrowing site in the northern part of Napa Valley’s acclaimed St. Helena appellation. Grapes have been cultivated on this coveted site since the mid-1800s. The vineyard was replanted using a diversity of clone and rootstock selections under the guidance of renowned enologist Jacques Boissenot in 1995. Today, the Ehlers Estate vineyard, which is the source of exceptional Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Sauvignon Blanc, is farmed with strict adherence to organic farming standards. The vineyard benefits from a unique Old World layout that is quite rare in California. The historic Ehlers winery building is located in the center of the contiguous estate vineyard. The farthest point on the property from the winery is approximately 600 yards, allowing the Ehlers team to have complete control over every aspect of the viticulture program, leading to greater focus and quality.
