2023 Fe Cabernet Sauvignon

The 2023 FE Spring Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon is nothing short of breathtaking in this vintage. It offers captivating aromas of fresh blackberry, blueberries and black cherries which are layered with notes of violets, graphite, forest herbs, tobacco, and crushed gravel, all lifted by subtle hints of loamy earth. On the palate, it is full-bodied and impeccably structured, revealing layers of ripe, dark fruit that unfold with remarkable depth and persistence. The mountain-grown fruit lends tension and vibrancy, balancing the wine’s luxurious richness. The finish is long, plush, and endlessly resonant, showcasing a reflection of both its precision and its power. This is a striking wine, vibrant and expressive in its youth, yet built with the structure and depth to evolve beautifully over time. FE Wines continue to assert themselves among Napa Valley’s most exciting producers, and this perfect bottling is a clear testament to their rising excellence.

A blend of 91% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Malbec, 2% Cabernet Franc, and 2% Petit Verdot, the 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon brings a bigger, richer style compared to the 26 cuvée. Cassis, graphite, crushed stone, and spice oak all emerge from this ripe, powerful, primordial beauty. It's full-bodied, dense, and concentrated, yet stays flawlessly balanced, with a broad, layered mid-palate, ripe, velvety tannins, and a great finish. It's a stunning, brilliant, age-worthy 2023 that will keep for 25+ years or more.
