Ashes and Diamonds Cabernet Sauvignon №2 Napa Valley 2023
ASHES & DIAMONDS Cabernet Sauvignon is a blend of select vineyards at the “mouth” of the Napa Valley (Oak Knoll District).
These sites take in morning fog and afternoon sea breezes, enabling the grapes to ripen slowly with minimal heat spikes. The vineyards’ alluvial soils are derived from volcanic and marine sediments washed down from the neighboring mountains into rich clay and sandy loam.
These conditions are ideal for a naturally restrained and balanced wine that cloaks its subtle might behind a robe of aromatic finesse.

Reviews
Wine Advocate – “A blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc sourced from the Oak Knoll District, the 2023 Ashes and Diamonds Cabernet Sauvignon No. 2 features hints of graham crackers and mint layered atop a base of cassis-tinged fruit. Aged 16 months in 28% new French oak, 8% new Austrian oak and the balance used French barrels, it’s medium- to full-bodied, nicely concentrated and silky in feel. It’s not overly tannic but does have a decent backbone, and the fruit and tannins both linger elegantly on the finish. It’s an excellent wine at an excellent price.” (92 Pts)
