2018 | Venge Vineyards | Family Reserve Oakville Estate Cabernet Sauvignon

Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2018 Family Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon explodes with crème de cassis, baked plums and Black Forest cake scents, plus hints of candied violets, clove oil, cedar and unsmoked cigars. Big, full-bodied and richly fruited, the palate has a firm and grainy frame to support the generous black fruits and spicy accents, finishing very long.

Producer Information

Venge Vineyards is a family-owned producer in Napa Valley, California. It is located in the eastern foothills of the Palisades Mountain range in Calistoga and produces a large range of wines sourced from multiple vineyards. The Venge wine portfolio is focus on full-bodied red blends such as the Zinfandel-based blend Scout's Honor and Cabernet Sauvignon Family Reserve, sourced from the Oakville Estate. Venge also produces a range of single-vineyard wines including a Cabernet Franc from the Sugarloaf vineyard and a Syrah from the Stagecoach vineyard. Production for each wine is only a few hundred cases, and with their high scores in the press, they sell out quickly and often. In the winery, all red wines are fermented with native yeasts, are aged in a combination of new and old French oak barrels. A majority of white wines go through malolactic fermentation and are aged on their lees, making them rich and creamy on the palate. Venge was founded in 1976 when proprietor Nils Venge purchased a 17 acre (7 hectare) vineyard in Oakville. Planted to Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, this vineyard has porous alluvial soils on an ideal hillside slope to maximise the sushine hours and encourage ripening.
