From the rocky hillside vineyards of Napa Valley’s prestigious Oakville appellation, Ramey’s 2019 Pedregal Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon showcases the exceptional depth, elegance and distinctive mineral character of this celebrated terroir. Crafted from 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Petit Verdot, grown in iron-rich red soils with volcanic basalt rock, the wine undergoes native-yeast fermentation and matures for 27 months in new French oak barrels. Expressive aromas of ripe red cherry, dark berries, grenadine and fresh mint reveal delicate herbal and mineral nuances. The palate is rich and full-bodied yet beautifully refined, offering concentrated fruit, vibrant freshness, finely structured tannins and a distinctive saline character. A long, elegant finish highlights its remarkable purity, balance and impressive aging potential. Presented in a distinguished 1.5-liter magnum format, this exceptional Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon is an outstanding choice for collectors and special occasions.
