Wine Description

The 2020 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon features a vibrant mélange of black cherry, black currants, cedar, and dried violets. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with a distinct silkiness throughout, plus a touch of minerality that adds freshness and depth. There’s a sense of grace and liveliness to this wine. The finish is laser focused with refined length and whispers hints of dark chocolate and blackberry.

Blend: 79% Cabernet, 9% Petite Verdot, 8% Malbec and 4% Merlot

Tommy Wesley – August 23, 2019
Raspberry, cinnamon and anise with soft mouthfeel and nice oak, but high tannin. Enjoyable, but better with aging.

Alan Virgilio – November 20, 2020
Potential 90+ wine with shy start, chewy minerality, and creamy dark fruits. Needs 3-5 years for integration.

Jean Sculley – May 1, 2021
Good Napa Cab Sauv with dark cherry and strawberry nose, polished tannins, oak and spice finish. Lacks complexity.

Jessica Russ – November 12, 2021
92 points James Suckling: Salvestrin Cabernet is fantastic- black cherry, blackberry, and spice. Full bodied, supple tannin, lengthy finish. $50- a wine not to be missed.
Rated 4 out of 5
Damion Wolfe – November 16, 2021
Deeply colored with black center and garnet edges. Heavy perfume of lavender, camphor, and black cherry on nose. Rich and pure, multi-dimensional palate with fresh acidity. Flavors of chocolate and blackberry carried through lengthy finish. Will improve with aging.

Ty Botta – May 5, 2022
Youthful dark color with aromas of black cabernet fruit, lavender, bay leaf and herbs. Medium-bodied with fine tannins. Paired beautifully with Flannery California Reserve dry aged New York steaks. 90-91 pts with room for improvement.

Perfect Italian pairing. Subtle tart and cherry notes. Lighter than Napa cab.

Jerome Deacon – August 16, 2022
Youthful and vibrant midweek cabernet with a zinfandel mouthfeel and classic cabernet flavors.

Kevin Himmons – August 31, 2022
Bold fruit-forward wine, requires 2-hour decant. Cheers!

Isaac Bussen – February 16, 2023
Agreed with others. Full berry notes. Decanted for an hour, but needed more time to open up.

Mark Sherrell – March 14, 2023
Full-bodied with herbal notes, round with a decent length.
Rated 4 out of 5
Gary Malekan – May 15, 2023
Balanced and structured with notes of candied apple, violets, and red licorice. Delivers flavors of blue fruits, cedar, cocoa, and tobacco, with a soft, moderately long finish. Enjoyable and consistent quality for 2014 Napa cabs.
Rated 4 out of 5
JS – May 24, 2023
Pure and fresh nose with a hint of stones and oatmeal to the lemon curd and green apples. Nicely saline on the medium-bodied palate with some grapefruit skins and white almonds in the finish. Drink now.
