Wine Description
Nestled in the lush landscapes of Napa Valley, the Rombauer Vineyards present their esteemed Rombauer Proprietor Selection Cabernet Sauvignon 2018. A luscious testament to the winemaking prowess of Richie Allen and his team, this wine encapsulates the best of Rombauer’s vineyards, intertwining tradition and innovation.
The 2018 vintage of Rombauer Cabernet Sauvignon, with its blend of 93% Cabernet Sauvignon and 7% Petit Verdot, is a culmination of meticulous viticulture and skilled craftsmanship. Sourced from the revered estate vineyards and top growers in Calistoga, St. Helena, Oakville, and Stags Leap District AVAs, this wine is a true representation of the region’s terroir. The year’s unique weather patterns, marked by heavy February rains and a warm summer that transitioned into a cooler August, led to an extended growing season. This longer maturation period, coupled with sustainable farming practices and NDVI technology, allowed for a harvest that celebrates both quantity and quality.
The winemaking process, under the vigilant eye of Richie Allen, is both traditional and innovative. The grapes, harvested nocturnally to preserve their pristine condition, were meticulously destemmed and optically sorted. The fermentation process, with 75% occurring in barrels, ensured a rich and textured palate while promoting seamless integration of the French oak. This careful production process culminated in the creation of the Rombauer Proprietor Selection Cabernet Sauvignon, a blend of the most exquisite lots, offering an unparalleled experience of the vintage.
Upon pouring, the wine reveals a deep, mesmerizing hue, indicative of its rich and complex character. The aroma is a symphony of ripened dark fruits; plum, blackberry, and black cherry dance harmoniously with undertones of spice, black licorice, and a warm, inviting scent of baked pie crust. On the palate, this Rombauer Vineyards Cabernet unfolds in layers. The initial taste is dominated by the luscious flavors of blackberry and cassis. These bold fruit notes gracefully pave the way to a more nuanced spectrum of spice, black tea, and cedar, each sip revealing a new facet of its intricate profile. The finish is a masterful blend of vanilla’s sweetness and the savory depth of pastry, leaving a lasting impression that beckons another taste.
The structure of the Rombauer Proprietor Selection Cabernet Sauvignon is a testament to its meticulous crafting. Plush, soft tannins create a wine that is both powerful and elegant, with a harmonious balance and a luxurious length that speaks of its exceptional quality.
In harmony with the wine’s stature, food pairings for this exquisite Rombauer wine are nothing short of luxurious. The Standing Prime Rib with Creamed Spinach or Grilled Marinated Lamb Chops with Risi e Bisi, as suggested by the Joy of Cooking®, will complement and elevate the wine’s rich and complex profile.
The critical acclaim for this Rombauer Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon is a reflection of its exceptional quality and the mastery behind its creation. Awarded 93 points by Wine Spectator, the wine is recognized for its hyperripe flavors and a polished finish that balances lush fruit with a subtle iron twinge, offering a necessary counterpoint to its opulent style. James Suckling’s 92 points commendation highlights the wine’s full-bodied structure, ripe and fine-grained tannins, and a mellow, lingering finish, showcasing its ripe, plush backbone of dark fruit.
In essence, the Rombauer Proprietor Selection Cabernet Sauvignon 2018 is more than a wine; it is a narrative of a unique year, a testament to dedicated winemaking, and a sensory journey through the flavors and aromas of Napa Valley. Whether you’re enjoying it now or cellaring for future savoring, this Rombauer wine near you is a luxurious experience, a blend of tradition, artistry, and the very essence of Napa Valley’s rich winemaking heritage.
