Tasting Notes
“The land belongs to the future… we come and go but the land is always here. And the people who love it and understand it are the people who own it—for a little while.”
Napa Valley
Cabernet Sauvignon
Many of the iconic Cabernet Sauvignons dating from the 1950s, ‘60s and ‘70s were sourced from multiple, exceptional vineyard sites throughout Napa Valley. Brilliant in their youth, the best of these wines are still vibrant and pure fifty and more years later.
Accendo Cabernet Sauvignon is modeled after this ideal: a master blend utilizing impeccable fruit from superior vineyard sites, fashioned in a winemaking style that emphasizes elegance, balance, freshness and finesse. Accessible at a young age, yet with the concentration and complexity required for extended cellaring, Accendo Cabernet Sauvignon is a quintessential expression of Napa Valley terroir.

Sauvignon Blanc
In the past three decades, we have witnessed many Napa Valley vineyards convert their vines to Cabernet Sauvignon, but there are sites where extraordinary Sauvignon Blanc is still nurtured today.
Much like our Cabernet Sauvignon, Accendo Sauvignon Blanc is the product of discriminating fruit sourcing and conscientious, diligent farming. The wine is powerful, yet it possesses a delicacy and artfulness that can only come with a winemaking philosophy that honors the integrity of the fruit and the vineyard’s terroir. We give this wine extra time in barrel and bottle prior to each release, resulting in an exquisitely balanced Sauvignon Blanc that is aromatically complex, concentrated in flavor and richly textured.

Laurea Red Wine
Laurea, a Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon produced in the style of a Bordeaux blend, made from a strict selection of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot sourced from some of the same vineyards used in our Accendo Cabernet Sauvignon. Carefully chosen lots are blended by our winemaker Nigel Kinsman to create a wine of balance, purity and complexity. Laurea is Latin for honor and achievement.
