Chalky red fruit rides atop a mineral component of earthiness and lively acidity in this estate wine. A rich coffee flavor permeates the midpalate, complementing sparks of clove, cinnamon and a smoky, layered backbone of sultry texture. (VB)

With 95% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Cabernet Franc, 2% Merlot and 1% Petit Verdot, this is the flagship red blend. The aromatics of black raspberries, cocoa powder and chai tea are so inviting. This is a powerful wine, but the firm structure is holding it in for now. It has substantial acidity and dry, leathery tannins. This should age well.

Notes

Founded by Gold Rush merchant Bernard Ehlers in the 1880s (thus the "1886"), Ehlers Estate is now owned by the Leducq Foundation, established by Jean and Sylviane Leducq to support cardiovascular research. The 42-acre estate that surrounds the winery is CCOF certified organic and the Ehlers team practices sustainable and biodynamic viniculture. It's a lesser-known gem of the Napa Valley, and we love their wines, too.
