The Wine

The 2019 Blue Beret Cabernet Sauvignon has aromas of dense blackberry, plum and cassis followed by undertones of rose petals and forest floor. The wine has a dense, soft tannin structure with flavors of blackberry, black currant, peat, and dark chocolate leading to a long balanced full-flavored finish.

Vintage

Napa Valley experienced an above-average rainfall in the early months of 2019 with over fifty inches of rain in Rutherford. The residual moisture and colder than average soils led to a delayed start in budbreak. Spring and summer enjoyed moderate temperatures with no significant heat spikes until August. The harvest began in early September and finished the first week of November.

Vineyard

This wine comes from grapes grown in our Yountville vineyard, with Rutherford grapes rounding out the blend. On 63 acres, located on the valley floor, our Yountville vineyard cultivates classic Bordeaux varieties and is home to a 25-acre plot (planted in 1959) with the second oldest Cabernet vines in the Napa Valley. In 2000, in the land surrounding our Rutherford winery, we planted 17.3 acres of Cabernet along with an additional acre of Petit Verdot to blend with Cabernet Sauvignon. We farm our vineyards naturally, using the principles of regenerative agriculture, and they are certified organic.
