Napa County Appellation:

Napa California is where a world-class reputation for Cabernet Sauvignon was built. The long consistent growing sseasons with ample sunshine, and just the right amount of rain, day time heat, and cool evenings regularly produce grapes among the finest in the world. Vintages in the Napa Valley are very consistent with long growing periods. These extended vintage seasons aid fruit development and complexity. The cool evening help to preserve the lively acidity as grapes mature over a longer period of time before they reach a perfect level of physiological ripeness. This ensures that the sugar and tannin levels are in complete balance, and that the skins of these small Cabernet Sauvignon grapes have time to thicken and add opaque color, grip and elegance.
