Fiancetto Gravelly Loam Napa Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

As the name suggests, this is all about the soil. Sourced from well-drained, stony plots, the vines here have to struggle, digging deep through the volcanic debris and alluvial fans. That struggle translates into a wine with serious structural integrity and a savory, mineral edge that keeps the lush California fruit in check.

The 2021 vintage in Napa was a dream for fans of precision. It was a cooler year that allowed for long hang times, giving a profile rich with intense blackcurrant and wild blackberry. Framed in with fine-grained tannins and a clean, lifted Finnish–this wine never feels too heavy.

Blue Chip quality without the vanity pricing–it’s a sophisticated, site-specific Cab that honors the rugged terrain of the valley floor.
