Winemaker Notes
The 2017 Ladera Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon exhibits deep, alluring aromas of ripe black cherry, boysenberry and crème de cassis with expressive notes of mocha and clove spice. The opulent palate is concentrated and pure, packed with ripe black fruits and fine mouth-coating tannins that carry through to the finish.

Tasting Panel
Grown at elevations exceeding 1,600 feet on mineral-rich, volcanic soil, this enchanting 22-month, French-oak aged red possesses a streamlined texture, determined structure, and inherent acidity. Black cherry, anise, and plum pudding paint a midnight sky, with a moonlit base of silky tannins.

Ladera Vineyards is located in the Howell Mountain appellation of the Napa Valley at an elevation of 1800 feet. The winery was originally built in 1886 and is listed in the official book of ghost wineries of Napa Valley. The proprietors, the Stotesbery family, have completely restored the old stone building, returned it to its original intent as a gravity flow winery and added nearly 18,000 square feet of caves for barrel storage. In addition to the Howell Mountain Appellation Cabernet Sauvignon, Ladera also produces a vineyard-designated Cabernet called Lone Canyon Vineyard. Both wines express their hillside vineyard heritage and hence the mantra: hillside estate Cabernet.
