Antonio Galloni, January 2021, Score: 89
The 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Volcanic Hill is a huge, inky wine draped in a veneer of new oak. Even so, this site has so much character that its personality comes out just the same. Inky red fruit, iron, cedar, tobacco, licorice, mocha and dried herbs gradually emerge. There is a bit of brett in the 2017, so appreciating it will require a forgiving palate, especially as those wilder, rustic notes will almost certainly become more pronounced in time. Drink 2023 - 2032
Region
Napa Valley
This small town north of San Francisco has grown up to be one of California’s most famous wine regions. It is home to opulent Cabernets and sweetly-spiced Zinfandels, grown across many sub-regions including Stags Leap, Rutherford, Oakville and others. Cooling ocean fogs roll in from the Pacific at night and burn off in the summer sunshine, keeping the region cooler than you would expect for its latitude, and help produce some of the best Californian wines. Napa wines have the concentration and structure to age magnificently.
