A pure and powerful expression of Napa Valley’s best. The very limited production of 300 to 450 cases of Roy Estate Cabernet Sauvignon is the end result of the meticulous efforts of our entire vineyard and winemaking team. Our single vineyard, Estate grown Cabernet Sauvignon is a sophisticated wine of striking complexity, deep concentration and substantial structure. Built to last, this wine is aged up to 29 months in Taransaud new French oak barrels to heighten complexity and deepen aromas. Our Roy Estate Cabernet Sauvignon has garnered consistent praise from wine experts and critics for every single of its vintages.

There are 415 cases of the 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon, which is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon aged 28 months in French oak. Made by the team of Philippe Melka, this deep purple-hued beauty boasts a great nose of crème de cassis and blackberry fruits as well as classic Cabernet graphite, spice, tobacco, and a kiss of cedar. Concentrated, balanced, and just beautifully done, it's a 2017 that's well worth seeking out.

The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon is just as impressive from bottle as it was from barrel. Powerful, dark and imposing, the 2016 possesses terrific freshness and energy, both of which give the wine a level of detail that the earlier vintages here did not show. Hints of lavender, spice, chocolate and leather add shades of nuance to this vibrant full-throttle, beautifully, layered Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon.
