Winemaker Description
To create this Cabernet Sauvignon, Oberon sourced grapes from throughout Napa's finest winegrowing regions, including Oakville, Oak Knoll, Yountville, Suscol Ridge, Chiles Valley, Pope Valley and Capell Valley.
By layering fruit from Napa's sparse volcanic soils and the deeper alluvial soils of the valley floor, Oberon accomplished their goal of marrying many different expressions into one outstanding Cabernet Sauvignon that boasts a beautifully seamless mouthfeel and rich, complex texture and flavors.
Memo Summary Notes
The Oberon Cabernet Sauvignon 2023 is a classic Napa Valley staple from the Michael Mondavi family. Winemaker Tony Coltrin sources fruit from premium Napa sub-regions—including Oakville, Oak Knoll, and Yountville—to create a "seamless" style that balances the structure of volcanic soils with the lush fruit of the valley floor.
The 2023 vintage in Napa was characterized by an exceptionally long, cool growing season, which resulted in highly concentrated fruit and a more "elegant" balance than the hotter preceding years.
