Winemaker Notes
The 2016 Cimarossa Rian Cabernet Sauvignon Highlight the wine's powerful structure, depth, and potential for aging, emphasizing that it's not meant for immediate consumption but rather to be savored with time and good company. It offers a complex profile of blackberry, dark fruit, and earthy notes, with hints of spice and a long, elegant finish.
About Winery
Located at 2100 feet in elevation on the Vaca range in Napa Valley, the Cimarossa “red hilltop” Vineyard flourishes in its native and natural setting. What might seem like a simple score given the farm plots that are available in the wine country, in reality, took Dino and Corry over 10 years to locate. One visit will confirm—it was worth the wait, with unrivaled 360 degree views of mountains, wilderness, and the valley floor below.
The vineyard build-out adhered to one driving force principle—to leave the property’s natural surroundings in their most native state.
This philosophy became a way of life and a constant reminder of the true fruits that the mountain can bear when left to its own devices.
