2014 Riboli Family Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon
The Riboli Cab shows layers of ripe fruit flavors, in particular, wild berry, black cherry, and ripe plum. Aromas of sweet oak, vanilla, and spice complement the equally fruit-driven nose. A small percentage of Petit Verdot adds structure and body. Soft tannins frame the full, round mouth.

About the Winery
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.
