Item Description

Arkenstone 2016 NVD Cabernet Sauvignon, 3 Bottles

This is a classic Cabernet Sauvignon with some Mountain Sass. The balance of tannins, minerality, acidity and intense fruit concentration hit all of the notes on the palate and leave you with a satisfyingly long finish. Sourced from vineyards at around 1600 feet of elevation in the eastern Napa mountains, this 100% Cabernet Sauvignon fits well into our portfolio.

Name of Winery: Arkenstone

Bottle Size: 750ml

Number of Bottles: Three

Varietal: Cabernet Sauvignon

Appellation: Napa Valley

Arkenstone NVD: When we made the decision to plant our vineyards, we were acutely aware that what attracted us to this magnificent property was the rugged beauty of the natural setting. It was clear to us that we would lose that native beauty if we took down trees and cleared radically for vineyards. Because of our choice to limit vineyards to previously cleared areas, we have been slowly finding additional outstanding fruit sources off the estate to continue to build our Arkenstone family of wines. We wanted to keep making wines from the steep, eastern volcanic mountains in the Napa Valley because we love the profile of this fruit. Our newest members of the Arkenstone family are our Arkenstone NVD Cabernet Sauvignon and our NVD Sauvignon Blanc, created from this beautiful fruit. The meticulous oversight, both in the vineyards and in the winery by winemaker Sam Kaplan, assures a solid note of consistency with our Arkenstone Estate wines.
