Elizabeth Spencer Cabernet Sauvignon

Tasting Notes from the Curator

In the glass, Elizabeth Spencer Cabernet Sauvignon is a symphony of sensory delights. The aromas play their first notes with dark fruits like black cherry and cassis, offering a prelude to the understated floral and herbal nuances. Native yeast fermentation adds complexity to the olfactory experience. As we explore deeper, flavors emerge in a rich display of dark fruits, underpinned by oak lending hints of vanilla bean and baking spice, while coffee and mocha notes betray the wine’s strong oak influence. On the palate, the texture is opulent, with its velvety mouthfeel and structured, silky tannins harmonizing with the freshness of its well-integrated acidity, culminating in a lingering finish. This Elizabeth Spencer Cabernet Sauvignon captures the Napa Valley’s essence —meticulous production, a balanced blend of aromatic complexity, and a luxurious consumer experience that stands uniquely in its category.
