The Vice Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville Batch #203 “Maverick” 2023

A lush bouquet of black fruit, espresso roast, and bittersweet chocolate. The palate is concentrated yet refined, driven by cassis and plum layered with cigar box, custard and sweet spice. The finish is exceptionally long, resonating for minutes. Enjoy with decanting in its youth or cellar through the few couple of decades.

Located along Oakville Cross Road adjacent to Opus One, this site features volcanic red clay and gravelly loam soils with exceptional drainage. The vines produce small berries with intense concentration, resulting in wines of depth, structure, and remarkable purity.

Perfect from start to finish. Winter will be remembered as one of the wettest seasons on record in Napa with consistent rain that got us out of the extreme drought. Spring was poetic leading to a mild summer with no heatwaves whatsoever. Harvest was a month behind compared to the past few years. The slow ripening helped the grapes reach a potential that we’ll be talking about for decades to come.
