“Bursting with flavor and elegance, the 2019 Rapp Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon is our quintessential example of why the Napa Valley produces the world’s best Cabernets. A bouquet of soft red fruit aromas including raspberry, and pomegranate, along with a touch of red licorice greet the nose. The palate is lush and layered with soft silky tannins supporting flavors of vanilla cream, cherry cola, molasses, and cranberry accents on the mid-palate and lovely notes of toasted espresso beans on the finish. This Cabernet is sure to delight the senses for years to come."
“The 2019 Rapp Ranch Cutters Reserve Red Blend has a strong influence of Petit Verdot that boast abundant aromas of ripe plum, blackberry, and cranberry followed by hints of clove, tea leaves, and black pepper. Full bodied and concentrated with a sensational fruit core, vanilla bean, worn leather, sweet tobacco, and a hint of dark chocolate covered cherries dance along the palette. Silkily structured, well-balanced acidity and a lingering finish, this wine is the embodiment of powerful elegance.”
“The long, warm Summer followed by mild foggy Fall mornings of 2019 produced wine with vibrancy and depth. This gave our Chardonnay a weighted yet clean, and luxurious mouthfeel. Beautiful golden straw in color leads to layered aromatics of apricot, honeycrisp apple, cinnamon and nilla wafer. The bright acidity shines on the palate from start to finish and is complementary to the viscous texture, a result of the lees stirring during maturation in the barrel. Brown sugar, honeycomb, Meyer lemon, and Asian pear linger on the palate beyond expectation.” -Rudy Zuidema, Winemaker

The palette starts out rich and juicy with notes of boysenberry pie, holiday spices, and mocha powder with a well-rounded, juicy body.

Sure to delight all Cabernet lovers, the 2019 vintage will age gracefully for years to come or can be enjoyed now with proper decanting.”
“The deep, dark garnet hue of the 2018 Rapp Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon reveals the beauty and power to follow. Enticing fragrances of eucalyptus, maple syrup, black licorice, and cedar all beckon from the glass. On the palate it shows beautiful rich fruit, vanilla cream, chocolate covered cherries with a hint of molasses and elegant mint. The lively acid is integrated harmoniously into the medium-full bodied tannin structure, which lingers on and on leaving a juicy and refreshing finish. A Classic Coombsville Cabernet Sauvignon that will keep you wanting more!”
