The 2020 Cultivar Bordeaux Blend Napa Valley is a wine of seamlessly assembled multi-varietal complexity, outstanding Napa Valley concentration, and the kind of generously flavored, expertly constructed Bordeaux-style blend character that showcases Cultivar's mastery of the blending art in one of California's finest growing regions from a vintage of exceptional warmth, richness, and natural concentration. Crafted in the classic Bordeaux tradition from a blend led by Cabernet Sauvignon and enriched by the complementary contributions of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and Malbec — each variety adding its own distinctive layer of aromatic complexity, textural richness, and structural definition to the final blend — this wine achieves a seamless integration of character and quality that elevates the whole well above the sum of its individual parts. The 2020 California growing season's warm, concentrated character gave each blending component exceptional natural depth and richness, and Cultivar's careful selection and vinification produced a Bordeaux Blend of outstanding concentration, beautiful aromatic completeness, and excellent tannin quality: aromas of ripe blackberry, cassis, cedar, graphite, dried violet, warm spice, dark chocolate, and a mineral note lead to a full-bodied, richly textured palate with excellent natural acidity and a long, satisfying finish.
