The grapes are sourced from the most prestigious mountain vineyards in Napa Valley. The result is an unforgettable wine experience, perfect to enjoy now or age for many years.

The wine is composed of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon and 14% Merlot, carefully selected from vineyards such as Howell Mountain, Spring Mountain, Mount Veeder, Diamond Mountain, and the Oakville/St. Helena Benchlands. The high-elevation sites provide freshness, structure, and minerality, while the lower benchland vineyards add richness and warmth to the flavor.

It is aged for 22 months in 100% French oak barrels, 90% of which are new. This unfiltered wine is crafted for slow development and long aging potential. Each bottle combines the power of mountain-grown grapes with the roundness of valley fruit.

About Cardinale
Cardinale was founded in 1982 with a single vision: to create a Cabernet Sauvignon that reflects Napa Valley’s best mountain vineyards. In the 1990s, Cardinale became part of Jackson Family Wines, gaining access to some of Napa Valley’s most sought-after vineyard sites.

Winemaker Christopher Carpenter has perfected the art of blending mountain-grown grapes, producing wines with depth, complexity, and long aging potential. The estate is located in Oakville AVA and is designed for small-batch fermentations, with each vineyard treated with precision from vine to bottle.
