Auction Item Details
2019 Cuvaison "Diablo" Carneros Syrah
Quantity: 1
Bottle Size: 750 ml
Provenance: Purchased from reputable sources and stored in the temperature controlled wine cellar of a San Francisco based collector and repeat consignor with K&L Auctions.
Cuvaison’s “Diablo” Syrah comes from estate vineyards at the cooler, wind-swept southern end of Napa Valley, where proximity to San Pablo Bay tempers ripening and preserves natural acidity. Planted on well-drained, gravelly loam soils, these sites favor a more restrained, savory expression of Syrah rather than overt power. The result is a wine shaped by its maritime-influenced terroir, emphasizing structure, lift, and aromatic complexity over sheer density.

Quantity: 1
Bottle Size: 750 ml
Provenance: Purchased from reputable sources and stored in the temperature controlled wine cellar of a San Francisco based collector and repeat consignor with K&L Auctions.
Cuvaison has long been a quiet standard-bearer for Napa Valley Pinot Noir, farming estate vineyards in the cool southern reaches of the valley where San Pablo Bay exerts a strong maritime influence. Their Carneros sites, rooted in well-drained clay and loam soils, yield wines defined more by precision and structure than sheer ripeness. The “Début Cru” Small Lot bottling reflects this focus, drawing on select parcels to capture the tension, freshness, and site transparency that define Cuvaison’s terroir.

“Ripe strawberries, spiced cherries, crushed herbs and dried oranges on the nose. Medium-bodied with mellow, red-fruited character and a round, creamy finish. Juicy and savory.” (03/2024)

Wine Spectator
“This offers up a mix of mulled red and black cherry fruit, with red tea and singed mesquite accents, plus a hint of sous-bois. Forward in feel but shows good lingering energy on the finish. (JM)” (12/2024)
