The VinoSensei Cabernet Sauvignon Oak Knoll 2020 is part of our AVA series that began with the 2018 vintage as a collaboration with our celebrated consulting winemaker Andy Erickson. Our winemaking team blended fruit grown in the Oak Knoll District, which boasts the longest growing season in the valley, due in part to its position at the southern end of Napa Valley. A strong marine influence from the San Pablo Bay provides foggy mornings and cool summer nights. This wine displays the pure and expressive red fruit characters from the cooler climates that benefit the vineyards in this AVA.
The VinoSensei Cabernet Sauvignon Rutherford would make André Tchelistcheff proud for it was this late, famed winemaker who said, “It takes Rutherford dust to grow great Cabernet.” Our winemakers blended Cabernet Sauvignon from historically significant and ultra-premium vineyards on the valley floor and hillside, each possessing a unique terroir, to make a wine that expresses the characteristics of the Rutherford appellation to perfection.
Our Proprietary Red 2020 celebrates the return of a true “Bordeaux blend” to the VinoSensei cellar, showcasing all five traditional red varietals from top sites across Napa Valley. The winemaking team chose carefully from our vineyard spice rack, from mountain fruit to the Valley floor, to emphasize round, polished tannins and layers of open-knit flavors. Across the palate, notes of blue and red berries, blackcurrants and anise are presented with silky finesse, and its opulent core stays focused and persistent throughout the clean finish.
Located in the heart of the Edna Valley region, Edna Ranch Vineyard delivers some of the best Pinot Noir in the Central Coast. The perfect balance of complexity, acidity and depth is what makes this fruit so special. Aromas of cherries, cumin and sage are followed by dense flavors of ripe dark cherries and strawberries.
Our Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 2019 was handcrafted from fruit grown in premium vineyards that truly express the diversity of terroirs in Napa Valley. This wine showcases flavors from a range of sub-appellations, stretching from the mountain slopes of Atlas Peak, Mount Veeder and Spring Mountain, to the Rutherford hillside, to valley floor vineyards in the Oak Knoll District, Coombsville, Oakville and St. Helena, blended to create the essence of Napa Valley.
Our 1155 estate vineyard surrounds our terrace and fountains and takes its name from the address of our winery. Our winemaking team crafted this wine with a dollop of Sémillon for richness. The complex and aromatic flavor profile features citrus balanced with bright acidity and freshness. This small-production wine, a perfect toast to the warmer weather ahead, always sells out a little sooner than we would like. Limited Availability.
