Napa Valley is California's most famous wine region and synonymous worldwide with top-quality New World wines. The Mediterranean climate, with its hot days and cool nights, influenced by San Pablo Bay, and the diverse soils, ranging from volcanic soils in the north to alluvial sedimentary soils in the south, create ideal conditions for optimal grape ripening. The Bordeaux grape variety Cabernet Sauvignon, in particular, thrives in Napa Valley.
Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley shines with intense aromas of blackcurrants, ripe plums, chocolate, and vanilla, shaped by the warm, sunny climate and diverse soils. The wines are powerful and concentrated, displaying ripe, velvety tannins and opulent fruit. Aging in American oak imparts notes of coconut, coffee, and spice, making them world-renowned, long-aging wines.
