With a radiant golden hue and alluring aromas of citrus blossoms and toasted vanilla, it offers a sensory journey of ripe pear, tropical fruits, and a delicate hint of butterscotch.

The phenomenal 2021 vintage has delivered everything we love in a Napa Valley Cabernet. Meticulously blended by winemaking masters Philippe Melka and Maayan Koschitzky, this wine is the quintessential expression of the vineyards we partner with in the Napa Valley. Deep and opulent, it bursts with aromas of blackberry, currant, and ripe plum, complemented by hints of dark fruit syrup, holiday spices, and dried rose petals. The palate is a symphony of rich, juicy flavors: dark berries, crème de cassis, and subtle notes of saddle leather, sweet oak, and spice. Structured tannins provide balance and length, while vibrant acidity ensures a refreshing finish. A masterpiece of complexity and elegance, this wine embodies the true essence of Westwood Estate Wine.
