Precision Wine Co. "Method" Cabernet Sauvignon 2023
(Napa Valley, California) - [JS 95] [WE 92]

Method was founded in 2016 by Master Sommelier Ian Cauble and winemaker Trevor Sheehan. Longtime friends, they bonded over their mutual admiration for the classic wines of the world. Inspired by their favorite Bordeaux, Ian and Trevor created Method to represent the best of Napa Cabernet Sauvignon at exceptional value. Method is a combination of Estate vineyards and superlative lots of purchased fruit sourced from across the Valley. The result is a bold Napa Cabernet Sauvignon with rich fruit and a balanced oak profile which overperforms its price-point year after year. 

Notes from the Producer:
The diverse sources of this Cabernet Sauvignon exemplify the Napa Valley terroir. The strong, traditional bouquet layers notes of ripe black cherry, dark cassis, aromatic violets, and savory curry spices rooted by earthy undertones. With clean fruit throughout the palate, this medium-bodied wine has well-structured tannins balanced by a nuance of toffee and caramel oak influence.

80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, & 10% Petit Verdot from organic St. Helena single-vineyard

Cooperage:
18 Months in 50% New French Oak & 50% American New Oak

14.5% ABV 

Ratings & Reviews

95 Points - James Suckling:
"The blackberry, dark-chocolate, walnut and blueberry aromas are so attractive. It’s medium-bodied with fine, velvety tannins and a long and firm-tannin finish. Just the right amount of tension at the end. Shows the beauty of the 2023. A blend of 80% cabernet sauvignon, 10% merlot and 10% petit verdot. Drink or hold." (Jul 2025)

92 Points - Wine Enthusiast:
"Opulent, rich flavor, and a silken mouthfeel drive the indulgent appeal of this Cabernet Sauvignon. Flavors of mixed berry pie, with a bright burst of cranberry, and a drizzle of dark chocolate fill the palate. Fine while ample tannins will continue to improve over the next few years." - Elaine Chukan Brown (Nov 2025)
