Kata Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Bourn Vineyard 2017 750ml

Kata produces a single-vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon from the Beckstoffer Bourn Vineyard, one of Andy Beckstoffer's storied Heritage vineyards in Napa Valley and a site prized for dark, concentrated fruit. The label has drawn strong critical attention, with earlier vintages praised for their density, purity of fruit and plush texture. The 2017 Napa vintage followed a very wet winter with a series of intense late-summer heat waves and an early harvest, and most top Cabernet was picked before the October wildfires; the best wines are ripe, generous and quick to charm. Expect a full-bodied Cabernet with cassis, blueberry, dark chocolate and spice over polished tannins. Drink now through the mid-2030s.
