Cervantes Description
Each year we learn more about this special place, this quiet corner in the far reaches of the Napa Valley. 2017, our third release from the estate, brought many valuable lessons.
We learned about strength and fortitude—in the vineyard, in the resulting wines, and in the community we cherish. It was also the first year we were able to play with the entire vineyard, some blocks being previously committed to other producers, and other blocks newly planted by our team. Letting our pioneering spirit be the guide, we crafted blending components that eventually led us to a new wine: Blacktail. This new wine stands shoulder to shoulder with our Cabernet Sauvignon offer- ing, but draws from many of the varieties that thrive on our estate.
It is truly a proprietary blend that showcases the character of our unique ranch, and as our understanding of the terroir grows, so will this exciting wine.
It is the fine focus that drives the character of the 2017 Cervantes Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine has a dark black-purple hue, bright aromatics, and a generous yet precise palate impression. Immediately on the nose are notes of red raspberry, loam, incense, and fresh blackberries. It enters the palate with a rush of flavor, then broadens and lengthens through the finish. There is excellent structure, even as the wine is balanced and nimble. It is built for the long haul and should age for more than a decade.

Every bit as good as the 2016, if not better, the 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon boasts a stunning nose of crème de cassis, crushed flowers, violet, garrigue, and even a touch of orange blossom. It’s complex aromatically, with the herbal, exotic note that’s always present in this cuvée, and it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, beautiful balance, and ripe tannins, all making for a captivating, incredibly satisfying Napa Cabernet that’s going to drink nicely for 15-20 years.

Composed of 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Petit Verdot and 3% Malbec, the 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon MMXVII is deep garnet-purple in color. It charges out of the gate with bold black and red cherries notes, followed by a core of mulberries and cassis with hints of Indian spices and roses. The full-bodied palate is concentrated and full-on seductive, featuring mouth-coating black fruit layers offset by great freshness and seductively plush tannins, finishing long and spicy. 225 cases were made.
