Cabernet Sauvignon

This lovely hillside Cabernet shows expressive, mountain-bred fruit flavors of crushed berry, cassis and plum punctuated by bright herbal notes and cedar.

This blockbuster Rutherford bench Cabernet has a dense core of blackberry, olive and black licorice on the palate with ample tannins, good acidity and a lingering fruit finish.

Attractively scented with suggestions of dried berries, cocoa and dusty earth, this estate-bottled Cabernet has flavors of raspberry, herb and sweet oak, with richness to spare.

Vittorio’s Vineyard, about thirty acres adjacent to the winery on the south side, is planted about half to Cabernet Sauvignon. The soils are gravelly loam and marginally fertile, which stresses the vines and produces excellent quality grapes. The vineyard enjoys a microclimate that is perfectly suited to Cabernet and the four other varieties (Merlot, Petit Verdot, Syrah & Zinfandel) planted there.

One of our two single vineyard bottlings, the Morisoli Vineyard is on the prized Rutherford Bench, home to some of Napa Valley’s greatest Cabernet Sauvignons.

This was V. Sattui's thirty-first vintage of fine Cabernets produced from this tiny Rutherford vineyard.
