メーカー・ノート
14.3% alcohol per volume
I love the old school Napa feel at the core of this wine. It smells and tastes like some of the great California wines from the 60s and 70s only with better farming and oak treatment. The first thing that greets you here is the savory character of the varietal. Due in equal parts to the greatness of the Larkmead site and the uniqueness of the Olmo clone, the modernness of the framing of this wine is meant only as a complement to its traditional center. Damp soil, bay leaves, black walnut and tobacco leaf begin the aromatic profile. Tasting it from tank a week before bottling, it reminded me of the mid-90s Araujo Eisele Vineyard wines. The palate takes on a dusty, minty character featuring plum, cedar and cassis. There’s a stuffing to this wine that has been lacking in years past. The vintage gets a lot of the credit for that. This is the new benchmark for our Calistoga bottling.

Very deep purple-black in color, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Calistoga (a barrel sample) gives up notions of cassis, black plums and pencil lead with hints of cedar chest, tobacco, bay leaves and forest floor. Medium to full-bodied and firmly textured with ripe, fine-grained tannins, the palate features a wonderfully understated, earth-laced depth, finishing on a minerally note.

Coming all from the Larkmead Vineyard outside of Calistoga, the 2016
Cabernet Sauvignon Calistoga is a richer, more savory effort that has
plenty of chocolaty dark fruits, walnut shell, dried herbs, and earthy
aromas and flavors. Medium to full-bodied, concentrated, and more
backward and concentrated than the Napa Valley cuvée, give this serious
Cabernet at least 3-4 years of bottle age. It will see its 20th birthday
in fine form.
