Reviews:

• Decanter: Heady aromas of beautiful brown spices, raspberry, boysenberry, leather and tobacco with the nuances of smoky clove, crushed wild herbs and cinnamon. More of the same unfolds on the palate, framed by burly tannins with grit, and finishing with intense pops of red and violet florals.

• James Suckling: So much crushed lead pencil, tile and dried flowers, together with blackberries and brambleberries. Full-bodied with round, polished tannins. Layered and so delicious. Black olives and graphite at the end.

Producer Information

Cardinale Estate is a premium-wine producer located in the Oakville sub-region of Napa Valley. The estate is most famous for its proprietary red wine, a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot sourced from AVAs around the area, including from Mount Veeder and Howell Mountain. The Cardinale blend is created from two key estate vineyards – Veeder Park vineyard in Mount Veeder and Keyes vineyard in Howell Mountain. The Veeder Park vineyard, on the southwestern edge of the Napa Valley, is planted to Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec and Merlot. Here, a 1800 feet (550 meter) altitude and gravelly loam soils create perfect terroir for viticulture. Depending on the vintage, it contributes approximate 30-percent of the final blend. The Keyes vineyard, in comparison, is located 1700 feet (520 meters) above sea level on the northeastern slopes of the Napa Valley. It covers 28 hectares (68 acres) and is planted on white and red volcanic rocky loam soils. Keyes vineyard is planted to both Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon that together contribute approximately 40-percent of the grapes used in the Cardinale blend.
