Overview

The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon, which was aged for 17 months in 45% new French oak, is a blend of 92% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. The wine is dense purple, with sweet cedar wood, unsmoked cigar tobacco, crème de cassis, and black raspberries in a classic, almost St.-Julien/Pauillac style. This emerged from a valley floor vineyard on the west side of Napa, where Christian Moueix told me that 2014 was characterized by generally slightly higher than average temperatures for the summer with only minor heat spikes in June and July. August and September went off without a hitch, and the harvest took place during the month of September. This full-bodied wine will hit its peak in 3-5 years and last for 25-30.

The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon is fabulous. Deep, layered and rich in texture, it has aged impressively. A blast of dark cherry, plum, incense, leather and mocha all rush across the palate. It's a very young wine. There is perhaps a bit of edginess in the contours, but that is a pretty small quibble for a wine that was just in its third vintage in 2014. Red-toned fruit, dried herbs, mocha, lavender and bay leaf linger on the finish. By Antonio Galloni January 2025
