Vintage: 2020

The Setting Cabernet Sauvignon 2020, crafted by acclaimed winemaker Jesse Katz, is a powerful expression of the prestigious Oakville appellation. Made entirely from handpicked grapes grown in the Skellenger Vineyard, this wine pours a deep ruby color, hinting at the intensity within. Aromas of ripe blackberries, dark cherries, and subtle baking spices exude from the glass, alongside notes of coffee beans, sage, tobacco leaves, and crème brûlée, offering a classic Oakville bouquet.

On the palate, the wine reveals layers of bold boysenberries, dark chocolate, and mocha, all intertwined with a velvety tannin structure. The rich, full-bodied texture glides seamlessly, with plush tannins and rounded acidity that suggest excellent aging potential. As the wine opens up, it morphs into a well-crafted balance of fruit and oak, with a long, oak-laced finish enriched by hints of espresso and warming spice. This oakville cabernet sauvignon 2020 showcases its bold character with an opulent yet clean finish, perfect for enjoying now or cellaring for 15-20 years.

The 2020 vintage endured challenging conditions due to the devastating Napa wildfires, but The Setting wine stands as a testament to resilience. This wine boasts 95 points from Wine Advocate and Jeb Dunnuck, who praised its plush texture, inky fruit, and elegant balance. The Setting Cabernet Sauvignon 2020 is an exceptional vintage that lovers of deep, rich wines will find irresistible.

With only 325 cases produced, this wine is a limited treasure. It’s the perfect addition to any collection, offering luxurious aromas, bold flavors, and a stunning finish. Enjoy it now with a brief decant or save it for special occasions over the next two decades. ABV 14.5%.

Both Wine Advocate and Jeb Dunnuck awarded this wine 95 points, highlighting its rich aromas of cassis, mocha, and black cherries. The palate is plush yet gripping, with espresso and baking spices adding depth to the long, clean finish. These critical endorsements further cement The Setting Cabernet Sauvignon 2020 as one of the standout wines of the vintage.

Critical Acclaim

WA 95
Wine Advocate
"The 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville was matured for 22 months in 80% new French oak. "If we had picked this post-Glass Fire, we would have lost it," winemaker Jesse Katz says with audible relief, recalling the devastating wildfire that began on September 27th in Napa County. "The fire was right there, and it went right through the vineyard." This lucky-to-be-here Cabernet has a medium to deep ruby color and gregarious aromas of cassis, coffee beans, sage, tobacco leaves and crème brûlée, offering surprising aromatic purity and layering for this challenging vintage. The full-bodied palate is über ripe and hedonistic, with loads of suede-textured tannins, rounded acidity and a long, oak-laced finish. A hint of rusticity and overt oak character suggests this will be most enjoyable over the next 5-7 years. 325 cases were made. Drink 2024-2034"
JD 95
Jeb Dunnuck
"The 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville pours an inky black and has aromas of pencil shavings, mocha, cedar, and plum preserve. Full-bodied, with good plushness of fruit, it has a velvety texture upfront though turns a bit gripping on the finish, likely due to the vintage. It’s a well-made wine, though, with a lot to love, with inky fruit, good depth, a clean finish that’s plush with espresso and warming spice. Drink it over the next 15 years."
