2011 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Our grandfather brought his family to California just in time for the 1963 harvest. Fifty years later, we released our first Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon.
Hand harvested at 3.5 tons per acre on October 21 & 26, 2011 in Napa Valley’s Oak Knoll District on the Silverado Trail. Aged eighteen months in new French oak and two year old neutral oak barrels. Rich layers of cedar, spice, cherry and raspberry with delicate vanilla bean and toasty oak on the finish. A decade or more of bottle aging will add to the richness and complexity. Enjoy with beef, lamb, hearty stews and aged hard cheeses.

The Scotto Family’s 50th harvest and their first Napa Valley Cab under their own label was worth waiting for; velvety and lush with bright plum and cassis with nice hints of new oak, spice and vanilla; elegant, balanced and classic. Only 167 cases made.
