Comprised of fruit from St. Helena, Rutherford, and Coombsville, this Cabernet was aged for 24 months in 60% new French oak barrels. The 2021 Atelier Ilaria Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon leaps out of the glass with gorgeous aromas of black cherry, black currant, blackberry, mocha and espresso. Layers of licorice, toasted oak, spices and blue flowers round out the aromatic profile. This wine exhibits stunning richness and texture and a bright vein of acidity runs through the plush fruit driven palate. The enduring finish showcases beautiful finesse and depth.
JEB DUNNUCK 91 POINTS - "Based on 95% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Malbec, the 2021 Atelier Ilaria Cabernet Sauvignon offers darker fruits, violets, apple blossoms, and sappy herbs on the nose. Medium-bodied and supple on the palate, it delivers exotic red and black fruits with well-integrated acidity and a pretty, pure finish. This elegant Napa Valley Cabernet will drink nicely for a decade."
