Located in the northern part of Napa Valley, the Calistoga AVA is also the hottest with the diurnal variation, or the intraday change in temperatures from high to low, the highest during growing season. It's this characteristic that draws many big-name wineries and winemakers to make appellation specific wines in Calistoga. Cabernet Sauvignon is king here, and the higher elevation corresponds with cooler nighttime temperatures allowing for more acid retention and more balanced wines. A true terroir-driven wine, the Calistoga Cabernet greets you with aromas of cassis, blackberry, and a hint of coffee. The palate features flavors of black cherry, plum preserve, and warm spices while its soft round tannins and balanced acidity lend to a long finish.
"Medium ruby in appearance, with a darker core. Bold aromas of fresh dark cherries, ripe strawberries, vanilla as
well as hints thyme, pressed flowers, leather and a touch of mint. Ripe and round on the palate, with well-developed
tannins that enhance the flavors of black raspberries, dark plum and some anis. The perfect pairing to a juicy T-bone steak, rich macaroni and cheese, or just perfect on its own." The Wine Buyer, 94 Points
