Vangone Estate Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

From a high plateau above the Silverado Trail, perched between Oakville and Yountville, Vangone Estate's flagship Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is crafted entirely from organically farmed, Napa Green-certified estate vines grown 800 to 1,000 feet up. Aged 30 months in 90% new French oak with thick staves chosen to preserve freshness, this bold, structured red delivers deep layers of cassis, blueberry, and dark chocolate, accented by savory notes of sage, earth, and truffle. Consistently earning high praise from critics, it's a showpiece bottle for cellaring or for pairing with beef, lamb, game, or aged hard cheeses.

Vangone Estate Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is a 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from a plateau east of the Silverado Trail, perched 800 to 1,000 feet above the Rector Reservoir between Oakville and Yountville. The wine ages for 30 months in 90% new French oak, using thick-staved barrels chosen to preserve freshness. The result is a dry, full-bodied red that typically lands between 14.5% and 14.9% ABV, depending on the vintage.

The 2021 vintage pours a deep garnet-purple and erupts from the glass with powerful scents of crème de cassis, blueberry compote, and dark chocolate. Hints of wild sage, earth, black truffle, and aniseed add savory depth.

Bold and structured, the palate carries rich dark fruit framed by firm tannins and polished oak. Its full body is balanced by the freshness the estate's careful barrel program is designed to protect.

The finish is long and layered, with dark fruit and savory notes lingering alongside the wine's firm structure.

This is Vangone's flagship estate Cabernet, released once each vintage from just 22 planted acres on a 108-acre hillside property. The vines are farmed organically, and the vineyard is certified Napa Green. Critics have taken notice, with the wine earning an aggregate score of 94 points across more than 20 reviews.

Decant before serving to let its layers unfold. Serve slightly below room temperature. Pair it with grilled steak, roast lamb, game, or poultry, or enjoy it alongside hard aged cheeses. With its structure and new-oak foundation, it also rewards patient cellaring.
