Winter Release Meteor Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon
2023
Winemaker’s Notes
The 2023 Meteor Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon, our eighth vintage from this renowned and highly coveted cool climate Napa Valley site, rivals its 2021 sibling as the finest we’ve produced. This represents my thirtieth year making Cabernet, so it’s a fitting accomplishment for that milestone. It effortlessly combines power with elegance and fruit purity with savory nuance. Surprisingly, due to the greatness of the 2023 Napa vintage, the wine is already approachable but can age for twenty-plus years without problem. Decant in its youth to bring forth all its natural beauty.
