Napa Valley
Napa Valley is an American wine region located in Napa County, California. It is considered one of the most prestigious wine-producing areas in the United States, with a viticultural heritage dating back to the 19th century. At the turn of the century, Napa Valley winemakers overcame the phylloxera crisis and alcohol prohibition in the United States from 1920 to 1933 to produce wines of the highest reputation.

The Napa Valley enjoys a Mediterranean climate, with oceanic influences, and a geology and topography conducive to the cultivation of quality vineyards.

The valley is home to 340 vineyards using a variety of grape varieties, including Cabernet-Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Merlot and Zinfandel. Most wineries produce a typical Napa Valley wine, and a few choose to blend their wines, using wines from the valley and surrounding hills. U.S. law allows a Napa Valley wine to be labeled according to grape variety if at least 75% of the grapes used belong to the grape variety in question - many Napa Valley wines labeled as Cabernet-Sauvignon thus often contain a share of Merlot, Cabernet-Franc, Durif or Syrah wines. Similarly, a wine can be labelled Napa Valley if at least 85% of the grapes come from the wine-growing region of the same name, allowing winemakers to source their blends from other, often lower-priced regions.

"100/100 from Wine Enthusiast and 99/100 from James Suckling: Napa Valley biodynamics at the top of its game!"

"An exquisite wine that relies primarily on Cabernet Sauvignon from a single estate. Aromas of lavender, dried herbs and grapefruit pith combine with firm fruit and cocoa flavors on a structure of abundant, powder-fine tannins and a mouthwatering finish. This wine is refined, detailed and delicious, with as much elegance as energy.

"A classic from the Napa region, Unfiltered 2021 Chardonnay continues a long tradition of excellence, offering aromas of toasted grain, caramelized pineapple and ripe melon. Between medium- and full-bodied, it starts out generous and round, before tightening and taking on citrus notes on the finish. 2023-2026" (The Wine Advocate 2023)

"Intense garnet in color, it offers a deep nose of baked blackberries, Black Forest cake, Christmas pudding and Chinese five spice with hints of rose hip tea, cedar and mincemeat pie. Full-bodied, super-rich and wonderfully concentrated on the palate, offering a rock-solid frame of grainy tannins, long, spicy finish." (Wine Advocate 2019 - Lisa Perrotti-Brown)

"It has a deep garnet-purple color and a rather toasty nose to start with, giving way to a lovely perfume of roses and lilac with a core of blackcurrant, redcurrant jelly and blackberry tart as well as a touch reminiscent of a cedar trunk. Full, velvety and seductive, it delivers layers of fragrant red and black fruits with a very long finish." (Wine Advocate 2018 - Lisa Perrotti-Brown)

"Deep garnet-purple in color, it boldly leaps from the glass with a presence of crème de cassis notes, blueberry tart and baking spice scents with a touch of chocolate box and potpourri. Full, rich and opulent, it has a chewy texture and tons of spicy fruit on the tip of the tongue, a fruity finish." (Wine Advocate 2018 - Lisa Perrotti-Brown)

Cardinale 2013

96/100 Robert Parker

"A superb wine from Chris Carpenter and the Kendall-Jackson family, this blend of 89% Cabernet Sauvignon and 11% Merlot, sourced mainly from the Jackson family's mountain vineyards, is fabulous. Cardinale 2013 has a dense purple color. A sweet kiss of crème de cassis as well as licorice, blackberry and coffee is found in this full-bodied, rather intense and sublime Cabernet. It should drink well for at least 25 years. It was aged in around 91% new French oak barrels for 18-20 months before bottling. It's certainly one of the finest Cardinales we've ever tasted. " (Wine Advocate 2015 - Robert Parker) Wooden case delivery on orders of 6 bottles of this wine.

4.5/5 (2 reviews)

Blended like a great Bordeaux, Cuvée Elu is an astonishing wine, with great depth of aroma and flavor, on coconut, blackberry and toasty-woody notes. Elegant, supple and finely balanced, with an explosion of ripe fruit and smooth tannins on the finish, this wine is not to be missed. A discovery from the Americas!

Domaine Saint-Supéry - Cabernet-Sauvignon 2003

Made from Cabernet Sauvignon ripened in the California sun, this rich, harmonious cuvée is a concentrate of cherry, blackcurrant and blueberry aromas. A great classic of Napa Valley Cabernets, it has aged beautifully in a 2003 vintage that brought together the best conditions for making a great wine. Enjoy it now!

Domaine Saint-Supéry - Sauvignon 2008

The Sauvignon Blanc grapes from which this cuvée is made are harvested at night and in the early morning hours of August and September, to preserve the fragile fruit aromas. Wonderful aromas of pink grapefruit, lime and honeysuckle, combined with a lively core of grapefruit, hints of pineapple, nectarine and lemongrass. An explosion of citrus for a very harmonious wine!
