Product Description
The Rattlesnake — their flagship single-vineyard bottling since 1991 — earned glowing praise for the 2019 vintage, with Wine Advocate describing it as "full-bodied, rich, expressive and spicy… velvety tannins and bright acidity, finishing with epic length," while James Suckling noted a "perfumed nose of dark cherries, violets, chocolate". Grown in volcanic soils with meticulous canopy management, this Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is built for the long haul, with the winemaker projecting optimal drinking through 2038–2039.
In the glass, the 2019 Rattlesnake is near-opaque, unleashing layers of crème de cassis, plum preserves, dark chocolate, toffee, and camphor with remarkable volcanic minerality beneath. Drinkers consistently celebrate its velvety, full-bodied presence and extraordinary complexity — a wine that commands both cellar time and instant admiration.
