Louis M. Martini Winery | Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon - NV

Solid and direct, with a core of plum sauce and cassis wrapped in warm vanilla-accented toast. Picks up tobacco and licorice root hints through the grippy finish.

Reviews:

• Wine Enthusiast: This wine delivers flavors of jammy blackberry, cherry, dark chocolate and graham cracker that make for a decadent, approachable experience.

• James Suckling: A slightly high-toned red with walnut, berry, chocolate and spice on the nose and palate. Medium-to full-bodied with chewy tannins and a rich finish. A little firmer and tighter than in the past, which equates to a more serious red. A touch of petit sirah in this.

Producer Information

Louis M. Martini Winery is a Napa Valley producer founded in 1933 in what is now the St Helena AVA. It mostly produces red wine, being best known for Cabernet Sauvignon which accounts for the majority of output. The current range is headed by the Lot 1 Cabernet Sauvignon, made from the best blocks of leading Napa Valley vineyards. It is matured for 19 months in French oak barrels, with 80 percent new wood. The recently introduced Crown Cabernet Collection is a group of mountain vineyard Cabernet Sauvignons. They are single-site designated apart from the Howell Mountain bottling. Barrel aging regimes vary in terms of time and whether a component is aged in American oak as well as French. The Monte Rosso Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is part of the above group. Other wines from the same site have their own Monte Rosso collection. Single variety wines are made from Cabernet Franc, Zinfandel and Malbec. The Monte Rosso Vineyard Mountain Red is based on Syrah backed up with other southern French varieties such as Petite Sirah (Durif) and Grenache. The Cellar 254 range of small lot releases include a Cabernet Sauvignon Rosé, varietal Petit Sirah and a Meritage (Bordeaux-style Blend) with around 60 percent Cabernet Sauvignon and 20 percent Malbec. The core "Signature Cabernets" are Sonoma County, Alexander Valley and Napa Valley bottlings. The sole white wine is a Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc.
