2009 | Casa Piena | Cabernet Sauvignon

The nose features rose petals, licorice, sweet tobacco, melted chocolate and blackcurrants. The balance between fruit and soil driven elements continues on the palate with a nice mix of cassis, pain grille, sandalwood, crushed blackberries and blueberries.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: The 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon displays a slightly more structured, more reserved, austere style. Its deep ruby/purple color is accompanied by scents of white chocolate, black currants and spicy oak in a medium to full-bodied, moderately tannic style. Drink it over the next 15 years. Both of these wines come from a vineyard in the Yountville AVA not far from the Kapcsandy estate.

• Wine Spectator: A muscular red that's rich and dense, with layers of dark fruit, currant, blackberry, loamy earth and cedar. Should only get better and better. Best from 2014 through 2026.

Producer Information

Casa Piena means “full house” in Italian, and that idea – that life, and wine, are better when shared with friends and family – is at the heart of this Napa Valley winery. Founded by Carmen Policy, a former NFL executive who led the San Francisco 49ers to four Super Bowl victories, Casa Piena is a tribute to Carmen’s children (three boys and two girls – a veritable “full house”) and to his roots in an Italian neighborhood of Youngstown, Ohio, where wine, family and community were intertwined. To craft their Cabernets, Carmen and his wife Gail turned to Thomas Rivers Brown, who has shaped the global reputation of Napa Valley Cabernets as winemaker for many of the valley’s finest producers since the 1990s. True to his artisan philosophy, the wines he makes for Casa Piena capture the unique terroir of the Yountville estate vineyards from which they spring, balancing the voluptuousness one expects from a Napa Cabernet with the elegance of an old-world Bordeaux.
