2020 Nurseryman Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley [Was $120}
Reds
$80.00
Rooted in the history of Napa Valley itself, Nurseryman is a tribute to Frank Emmolo, whose Emmolo Nursery supplied grapevines to the pioneering estates that put Napa on the world wine map. Today, his granddaughter Jenny Wagner carries that legacy forward through this richly expressive Cabernet Sauvignon, sourced from some of the valley's most prized Cabernet-growing soils. Deep black-plum in color, the 2020 opens with an inviting bouquet of wild sage, ripe blackberry, mocha, caramel, and worn leather, with a lifted note of custard and wild berries. The influence of French oak weaves seamlessly through the aromatics, adding dimension without dominating. On the palate, the wine is plush and mouth-filling from the first sip, round, supple, and richly textured. Fine-grained tannins provide an elegant backbone, while the finish lingers with satisfying notes of baking cocoa, espresso, and ripe plum. A wine that balances the opulent fruit character Napa Cabernet is celebrated for with genuine depth and refinement, and a story worth telling.
