Calistoga Vineyard is John Anthony’s northernmost estate, where warmer temperatures and rocky soils shape the intensity of the fruit. In this single-vineyard 2020 vintage of Cabernet Sauvignon, ruby hues yield to round aromas of dried blackberry and cranberry. On the palate, flavors of chocolate-dipped strawberries, raisins, and buttery berry compote evoke the richness of a freshly baked cobbler. A velvety texture carries the wine effortlessly across the palate, with a softness that speaks to its readiness. Aged for 28 months in 70% new French oak barrels. 312 cases produced.
"Savory and spice-driven aromas of red currants, cedar, black cherry liqueur and licorice. The palate is mid-weighted with fine tannins and a rustic yet pleasant finish. A lot to like. Drink now." 91 Points - James Suckling
"Calistoga Vineyard is John Anthony’s northernmost Napa Valley estate, where warmer temperatures and rocky soils predominate. Hues of deep ruby-purple yield to engulfing aromas of brambly blackberry, black currant, and forest floor. The bouquet is echoed on the palate with accents of black cherry, black pepper, and cedar. Power meets elegance on the finish, displaying grainy tannins that release with softness and length. Aged for 28 months in 70 percent new French oak barrels. Only 200 cases produced."
"The debut vintage of this cabernet sauvignon from the Calistoga AVA, Napa Valley comes from deep, fertile slopes of our small, 10-acre estate in the northeastern Calistoga benchlands. Red winter fruit aromas of plum and pomegranate are tinged with hints of tobacco leaf and old leather. The palate is focused with cassis, wild blue flowers and dusty minerality opening to brambly berries, cocoa nib and holiday spices. The texture is sturdy with dusty tannins and a broad, enveloping finish."
