Rated 93 by Wine Enthusiast As always, the Judd’s Hill Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is a blend of our own estate grown hillside grapes and fruit we purchase from other Napa Valley grape growers. Having been a professional winemaker for the last 25 years, Judd’s Hill owner Art Finkelstein has had the opportunity over those years to source fabulous grapes which, when combined, exemplify the Judd’s Hill style. By purchasing fruit from selected areas we are able to blend together Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc grapes, each selected for their individual contribution; a controlled synergy where the sum total exceed the parts. Wine Description: This is a wonderful example of our philosophy of keeping the fruit as the star of the show. The wine shows distinct flavors of cranberry, coffee and clove. The wood is more of a nuance than a major characteristic that allows the intense hillside fruit to shine through. Soft tannins feel silky in the mouth and make this a superb complement to meals. Food Pairing: Grilled meats, savory stews, barbequed chicken, aged Vermont cheddar cheese and even a simple roast beef sandwich is a great compliment to Judd's Hill Cabernet Sauvignon. |
