Notes from the Winemaker:
The exposure provided by high elevation, slopes, and extreme drainage combined with fundamental vineyard practices produced exceptional grapes for us in the 2014 vintage. Our 2014 Purple Label Napa Valley Cabernet is 100% varietal in composition, yet it is a blend of ridge-top Atlas Peak fruit and the stony Calistoga vineyard where the high rocks there create thermals, drawing warming air through the vine rows, working the magic of ripening. Fully ripe cherry pie. Mid-palate gives the impression, sweet fruit and just a hint of mocha. Pleasantly mouth-coating, amply tannin in the finish linger on and on. This vintage is delicious in its youth but will continue to deliver with many years of proper bottle aging.
94+ Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate:
"The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon (100% Cabernet Sauvignon from Calistoga, Mt. Veeder and Atlas Peak) is essentially the same size, maybe slightly more concentrated, with more noticeable tannin, but again, much like most wines from this vintage, it possesses wonderful, charming, nearly irresistibly ripe, juicy fruit, succulence, opulence and a medium to full-bodied personality. Drink it over the next 12-15 years." - Robert M. Parker, Jr. (30th Dec 2016)
94 Points - Jeb Dunnuck:
"Not far off the flagship cuvée, the 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley is 100% varietal sourced from Howell Mountain, Atlas Peak, Mt. Veeder, and Calistoga. It spent 18 months in just 40% new French oak. This full-bodied, incredibly classic Cabernet offers impressive crème de cassis, graphite, and lead pencil notes, terrific mid-palate depth, a wonderful sweetness in its fruit, and a great finish. It’s another terrific wine from this estate that you can drink today or cellar for 15 years or more."
