Before the 2019 growing season, friends of Jen Williams and Mark Porembski recommended them to the owners of Rafael Vineyard – a super-steep site on the western side of Oak Knoll running up the Mayacamas Mountains’ foothills. Zeitgeist got a small block that juts out into the Valley, just enough to make two barrels of super-intense Cabernet from the low-yielding, 40 year-old, vines. Closer to the Bay than the rest of Napa’s Cabernet sites, this has Oak Knoll’s elegance and finesse on top of the intense flavors and textures of old-vine Cabernet Sauvignon. Just 36 bottles available.
For You If: You want super silky Napa Cab – there’s plenty of structure here and loads of fruit, but it’s all just effortless.
Not For You: If you like to chew your wine – which is not a bad thing, but not what’s going on here.
