Samara Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2023

Vin Chicago: 89+ Points

(11/2026) Among other adventures, the winemaker behind this humbly-priced, gastronomically-oriented Napa Cab is the man behind Vineyard 29 and Gundlach Bundschu: so you know you're in good hands! Intended for a Chicago-based restaurant group, we were surprised & pleased to acquire what must be a retail exclusive! With a very light impression of oak, this is a dark-fruited, sleek and classic Cabernet Sauvignon profile. Black currant, blackberry, black cherry, graphite and volcanic soil tones offer satisfying lift and grip - completely ready for a herb-crusted ribeye! In the top-ranks of Napa Cabernet we encounter for this price, available while supplies last.
