Riboli Family Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
—
—/10
Stefano & Maddalena Riboli began farming a 16-acre vineyard in Rutherford in the heart of Napa Valley in 1986.
Located along the Silverado Trail, the site was chosen for its rich clay loam soils and gentle slope. A temperate climate of warm days and cool nights provides the long growing season necessary for full maturation of flavors and aromas. Several clones of Cabernet Sauvignon and a small section of Petit Verdot create complexity and depth. With neighbors
including Caymus Winery and Beckstoffer’s Georges III Vineyard, the Riboli Family Vineyard has produced multiple award-winning Cabernet Sauvignon wines. From the heart of Rutherford, this hearty red blends in 6% Petit Verdot. Soft, smooth and ripely full bodied, it offers a wealth of spicy red fruit and classic characteristics of dried herb and pencil shavings. It is well integrated and in balance despite its bold grasp of power.
