Note:  As a result of the 2020 Napa Glass Fire and the effects of wildfire smoke on the vineyards, Monvitis chose not to make a 2020 vintage. The vineyards we work with supported and agreed with this decision. Neither we, nor our vineyards, want a product that is anything other than perfect for our customers.

VINTAGE NOTES
The 2019 growing season began with heavy rains and late moisture that increased cover crops and enriched the soil with nutrients.  The long, mild summer saw very few extreme heat events, and few extended foggy mornings which set the stage for excellent quality wines. The extended mild finish to the season provided for extended hang time that further increased flavors and preserved freshness in the fruit helping produce a memorable vintage

WINEMAKING NOTES
Our 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon is a beautiful expression of Napa Valley's finest vineyards. With a majority of the blend's fruit coming from the iconic Oakville sub-appellation and the remainder from the Oak Knoll District the wine exhibits a well balanced and yet powerful flavor profile and structure. Fruit was picked in the cool of the morning at 4 a.m. followed by a gentle destemming of the clusters and light crush. A four day cold soak was followed by a 31 day fermentation. The wine was aged in French oak barrels for 20 months.

TASTING NOTES

  • Gorgeous, pure-tasting red and black cherries, black currants and mint give a wonderful fruitiness and complexity to this full-bodied and well polished wine. Moderate, fine-grained tannoins and just enough acidity keep it well balanced and primed for further aging.  - Wine Enthusiast Magazine

  • "Pronounced cassis, mint aromas with toast and vanilla. Lovely concentration and chocolate texture with freshness to the black plum fruit. Succulent tannins, juicy finish" - Decanter

  • ​"Fruit forward nose, driven by black plum, black cherry, blackberry flavors, and notes of cedar and vanilla. Fruity on the palate with some hints of oak" -Sommeliers Choice
