O'Shaughnessy Cabernet Sauvignon 'Napa Valley' 2021

Proprietors Betty O'Shaughnessy-Wools and Paul Wools purchased land in Oakville in 1990, driven by a passion for food and wine and a desire to return to their farming roots. Over the following years, they acquired additional vineyards on Howell Mountain and Mount Veeder, completing their winery and caves in time for the 2003 harvest.

Wine Description

This is a classic Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon with an opaque purple color and perfumed aromas of blackberry compote, orange blossom, cassis, creme brulee, and cocoa. On the palate the wine is plush and concentrated with well-integrated tannins and a vibrant finish. Lush enough to be consumed now and structured enough to hold for decades thanks to the mountain heritage of this beautiful wine.
