Region
The fog influenced Napa Valley is home to many of California’s premium wineries. This famous valley around the natural springs of Oakville, includes the thin strip of soil known as the Rutherford Bench where some of the state’s most highly prized vineyards are planted. It is where great Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay are grown and sublime Pinot Noirs from the southern Carneros end of the valley.
Producer
Banshee was born in 2009 at a bar in the Dogpatch neighborhood of San Francisco as a friends and family venture to make affordable but top quality wines from Sonoma. They started off with 8 barrels of Pinot Noir and now have their own estate in based in Alexander Valley and with vineyard sites spread throughout the Sonoma Coastal area with some prestigious vineyards in the Russian River Valley.
Tasting Notes
The Cabernet Sauvignon is blended with Syrah and aged for 19 months in French oak barrels, 1/5 new. Aromas open with dried cherry, blackberry, violet, pancetta, maple, and sage. The full bodied palate offers round tannins with abundant flavors of plum jam, cola, coffee nip, and a hint of leather. The finish is long and decadent.
Food
Pairs well with roasted or barbecued game and red meats such as lamb and beef, as well as pork.
