Cabernet Sauvignon | Napa Valley
Winemaker’s Comments
The 2014 Correlation Wine Company Cabernet Sauvignon is a blend of 92% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Merlot and 2% Petit Verdot. The fruit is sourced from two estate vineyards farmed on top of Spring Mountain, as well as the Beckstoffer Melrose Vineyard in
Rutherford, CA.
Martha McClellan and Wesley Steffens worked in tandem to craft this inaugural release. The resulting wine shows very focused yet fresh
and vibrant aromatics, polished tannins with great tension, smooth texture throughout the wine ending with a very pleasing and lengthy
finish. This wine will drink very well upon release, as well will continue to reward with aging in the cellar for many years to come.
Wine Reviews
94 pts. | Correlation Wine Co. | 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon
“His 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon is a blend of 93% Cabernet Sauvignon, and the rest Merlot and Petit Verdot. This is a 1,100-case cuvee
showing loads of blueberry and blackcurrant fruit, licorice, charcoal embers and baking spices. It is dense, full-bodied, ripe and much in
the style of 2014 with its lusciousness and elegant precociousness. Drink it over the next 15 or so years. This is the debut vintage of this
impressive wine from winemaker and owner Wesley Steffens.”
—Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, December 2016
