Ladera Vineyards
High Plateau Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Beautiful, elegant texture. I think this is their diamond mountain cab, but if it's not then it sure feels like it. Makes this cab too easy drinking. Super good.

Jan 23rd, 2015Super concentrated Howell Mtn Cab. Mostly blackberry and plum, but has a nice hint of cocoa and dark chocolate. Super long cocoa finish. 2010 Vintage with a one hr decant.

Feb 2nd, 2019A very elegant wine from the combined Mt Veeder and Howell Mtn Ladera vineyards. Silky smooth tannins and loads of dark berry, cocoa and leather. This is drinking very nicely right now.

Oct 25th, 2017Dark crisp ruby red in the glass and a nose full of blackberry, bright plums and cocoa. Medium tannins and nicely structured. On the palate it was very aromatic with sage, lavender and rose and a medium to long finish. This is a winner. Love Ladera and the Cabs are world class.
