- Vintage2019
- VarietyCabernet Sauvignon
- AppellationNapa Valley
Don't let anyone tell you differently - you CAN drink great Napa Cabernet without spending a fortune. Cardano 1913 has everything we love - juicy core, enveloping aromatics, a robust tannic backbone - it is the perfect affordable Cab to have in your cellar for those low-fuss moments that still deserve a great wine pairing. The 2019 Cardano 1913 is only the second vintage made, and the fun we had with the 2018, which was their debut vintage, is still unparalleled by any other Cabernet in ACME's lore. Whether you have tried this and loved it or are just learning about the wine now, TODAY is your opportunity drink the good stuff without regretting the price tag! Bursting on to the scene last year and begging to be shared, this Napa Cabernet is showing incredibly well in its youth and has the structure to please for years to come. Atlas Peak, known for its cool, wet winters and warm, dry summers, is home to some of Napa Valley's highest-elevation vineyard sites with unparalleled quality around every corner. At an altitude of 1,200 feet, the fruit can mature evenly thanks to the perfect combination of morning sunlight and cool afternoon breeze with temperatures regularly ten degrees cooler than the valley floor. Shallow, rocky, and well-drained soils cover the steep slopes forcing vines to produce smaller, more concentrated berries, leading to epically flavored wines. It is here that second-generation vintner, Ed Lewis Snider, founded Cardano Estate. The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon 1913 is a blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Cabernet Franc, and 3% Merlot, all aged in 50% new oak. This full-bodied Cabernet is front-loaded with powerful black fruit aromas and flavors. A soaring mid-palate is lifted supremely with mouthwatering acidity complemented by elegant yet chiseled tannins. Young and lively, this is steak night Napa Cabernet if there ever was one! Black cherries, mulberries, and plum preserves jump from the glass followed by more subtle flavors of camphor, tilled soil, and crushed rocks. Be sure to clear a space in the cellar though, this wine is not only eager to please but is also built to last. |
