Winery Story

Tobacco Road Cellars is a boutique winery run by two entrepreneurs from North Carolina who share a penchant for California grapes. Four year... (more...)s ago, they went to Napa Valley on a whim to create their own wine to give as holiday gifts. After tasting some of the Cabernet Sauvignon they produced, they realized they had a treasure in their glasses. Following the tradition of excellence known as Tobacco Road in North Carolina, they decided to create a boutique winery committed to producing world-class Cabernet, Pinot Noir, and Syrah. From the succulent grapes they hand-pick, to the high-end French oak barrels they use for aging, to the delicate hand-dipped wax seal, they pay attention to every single detail and demand the highest quality at every level.

Tasting Note

The 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon has a deep rich red color with purple hues. The nose displays classic Napa Valley Cabernet characteristics of oa... (more...)k and cedar. Initially the wine is closed with tight oak but begins to open with bright red berry and sweet toasted cherry notes supported by aromas of spice and clove. The subtle aromas are an appetizer for the rich mouth-filling palate with great entry and length. The ample fine-grained but supportive tannin does not overshadow the fruit intensity producing a beautifully balanced Napa Cabernet with a clean, lingering finish.
