Cabernet Sauvignon Lot 195

Oakville, Napa Valley 2018

In Oakville, between the Vaca and Mayacamas Mountains in California’s Napa Valley, you’ll find some of the richest soil known for producing some of California’s most coveted Cabernet Sauvignon. This grape varietal thrives here thanks to the cool northern bay breezes and warm inland air.

The grapes are hand-harvested in the early morning and then delivered to the winery where they are sorted, de-stemmed and crushed. Fermentation begins under warmer temperatures to extract color and flavor from the dark, ripe grape skins. As the alcohol rises, the vat is cooled slightly to prevent over extraction. A post fermentation maceration with the skins occurs prior to the release of the juice into oak barrels made of French oak. Maturation occurs for 18-20 months. A selection of barrels are blended to make the final wine.

Tasting Notes

Plentiful aromas of black cherry and cassis leap from the glass with notes of vanilla and plums lingering in the background. Soft and balanced, yet deep and alluring. Pair this wine with grilled ribeye or sliced aged cheddar. This is truly an age-worthy wine worth savoring.

Varietal: Cabernet Sauvignon

Alcohol: 15.0

We'll Admit It, We Love Great Wine

That’s why we started 90+ Cellars.

It all started in the spring of 2009. Armed with a copy of the latest Wine Spectator, founder Kevin Mehra set out on a mission to bring higher quality wine to the market for a better price. He started calling wineries with a history of high ratings to ask if they had wine for sale. Some told him to get lost, but in the end, he found a handful of wineries that liked his concept. The plan was simple: we put their wine behind our label, and sell it for less.

But why would wineries want to do that?

You may recall that the economy wasn’t in the best shape in 2009. Demand for premium and luxury wines had plummeted and inventories were piling up. Rather than discount their wine and erode the value of their brand, we found that wineries were willing to part with a certain percentage of their production for a reduced price.

It was a win/win scenario. Wineries got to sell more wine, and consumers got access to better wine at lower prices.

Our company and industry has changed quite a bit since we launched; but our mission and our ability to offer great wine for a great price has not. With our Wine Director, Brett Vankoski, we continue to seek out the best opportunities in the market and turn those into great values in the bottle for you.

Today, 90+ Cellars is one of the fastest growing wine brands in America. We are a modern day négociant – working with acclaimed wineries and vineyards to curate a portfolio of fine wines from all over the globe. We do this because we love great wine, and we want to make drinking great wine easier and more affordable for you.
