Arrow and Branch is renowned for their gorgeous red blend and dreamy Sauvignon Blanc. Winemaker Jennifer Williams is a rising star here in the valley, most notably for the Cabernet Sauvignons she crafted for Spottswoode and currently under her own label Zeitgeist. Therefore it was only common sense, no, deemed by the Napa wine gods that she should make a Cabernet for Arrow & Branch.
Fruit sourced from the well-known Stagecoach and Lewelling Vineyards, this lovely wine is textured and weighty, exhibiting a satisfying density. Its pleasing entry is rich yet bright. Blackberry and dark cherry, citrus peel, graphite and ash are framed by warm, welcoming dark spice notes. The spice profile is notable and masculine, redolent of herbal lavender, clove, and dark rum. The blend of 95% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot is rich and broad. Also aged for 20 months in 70% new French oak barrels and only 260 cases produced, this wine is a mouthwatering gift!
