Cain Cuvee Red Blend Napa NV14

NV14 VINTAGE NOTES

The NV14 is the richest, most dense Cain Cuvée we’ve ever bottled. The wine is dark and the bouquet is shy. You won’t really “get it” until you put it in your mouth and savor its firm, round fullness and smooth texture. The wine finishes with a satisfying bitterness.

The NV14 also illustrates our commitment to wines that transcend fruit. Like beer, bread, cheese, and charcuterie, wine is also about fermentation. We seek to engender the fermentations and embrace the results, having long found that the fermentations can bring a wine into another dimension, one of savory complexity. Look for yeasty, meaty, even earthy notes together with a satisfying, mouthfilling sensation.

CAIN CUVÉE: THE BLENDING OF BOTH VARIETIES AND VINTAGES

Cain Cuvée is the most eclectic of our blends because it is not only a blend of multiple varieties, but also of two vintages. Our Cain Cuvée is drawn mainly from different vineyards, and it is intended to be an expression of lightness and to leave your palate refreshed. We’re also looking for complexity on the nose and balance on the palate. To achieve all of this, blending is a surprisingly useful and powerful method.
