Join us for a tasting of four standout expressions of Napa and Sonoma Cabernet Sauvignon. This lineup highlights different vineyard sources, winemaking styles, and interpretations of California Cabernet: from structured and age-worthy to polished and approachable. Taste side by side and explore what defines each wine’s character.

Featured Wines:

Ulysses

From a historic Oakville site, Ulysses offers depth and precision. Expect dark berry fruit, graphite, and firm structure with a long, composed finish.

Napanook

The second wine of Dominus Estate, combining elegance and power. Layers of blackberry, cedar, and earth with refined tannins and excellent structure.

Townsend Napa Valley

Rich and expressive, showing black cherry, mocha, and baking spice. Plush texture with well-integrated tannins and a generous, fruit-driven profile.

Heitz Cellars

A benchmark Napa Cabernet known for balance and restraint. Notes of red and black currant, mint, and subtle oak lead into a structured, age-worthy finish with fine tannins.
