Plenty of plum and berry with chocolate and spice. Some tile and dust undertones, too. Full-bodied and layered with lovely, unctuous and juicy character to the ripe fruit.

The 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Private Stock 16 Rows is inky and plush, with copious blackberry jam, licorice, menthol, plum, sweet toasted oak and spice. The most overt of the three Cabernets I tasted from Vine Cliff, the 16 Rows could use a bit of time in barrel to shed some baby fat. Even in the early going, though, it is impressive and also quite flamboyant. (AG)

Notes

Vine Cliff Winery is a historic Napa Valley estate whose roots trace back to the late nineteenth century, with modern vineyard development focused on the western benchlands of Oakville. The “16 Rows” Private Stock Cabernet Sauvignon is sourced from tightly spaced vineyard blocks planted on rocky, well-draining soils beneath the Mayacamas foothills, a terroir known for producing structured, age-worthy Cabernet. Careful farming and restrained winemaking allow the site’s balance of dark fruit, freshness, and underlying mineral tension to emerge with clarity and precision.
