Ramey Wine Cellars

Intense, smoke-accented aromas of cherry and blackcurrant, Indian spice and floral notes. Palate of dark fruit flavors.

75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Cabernet Franc; Native yeast fermentation and full natural malolactic fermentation were completed.

Fleshy but dry on the palate, offering intense poached pear and lemon curd flavors that spread out nicely on the back half.

Ramey's entry-level Cabernet blend, this vintage is comprised of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Merlot, 2% Malbec, 2% Syrah, 1% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot. All the fruit comes from Napa Valley.
