2019 Dolum Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley
Dolum Estate produces limited quantities of premium Cabernet Sauvignon and has done so for over three decades. The team makes meticulous decisions for fruit selection in each vintage and sources high-quality grapes from small sub-districts, including Oakville and Stags Leap, crafting wines that balance power and elegance.
 
Winemaker Chad Alexander’s background in soil science and making wine at Hess Collection and Robert Craig wineries has influenced his winemaking style as he captures the essence of each unique plot showcased in his wines. Dolum Estate’s 2019 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is a classic example of the region’s best attributes: a profound depth of flavor, soft, refined tannins, and a sultry finish that elegantly lingers.

“Aromas of crushed blackberry, plum, blackcurrant and menthol. Full-bodied with powdery tannins. Succulent and fruity on the palate with a core of black fruit and berries. Ground spice, too. Focused. Best after 2026.”

2018 Dolum Estates Cabernet Sauvignon Cask #28 SLD
Dolum Estate’s Stags Leap District Cabernet is a classic example of the region’s best attributes, with penetrating fruit, vibrant detail, and mouth-quenching acidity. Stags Leap District has unique terroir marked by the heat reflecting off the rocky cliffs, balancing the cooling breeze from the South, producing powerfully captivating and intensely concentrated Cabernet grapes.
 
Dolum’s vines emerge from nutrient-deficient shallow, sandy loam soils over thick red clay, forcing the roots deep into the earth, extracting minerals, and illuminating their site-specific terroir with power, intensity, grace, and balance. Winemaker Chad Alexander’s background in soils science and experience making wine at Hess Collection and Robert Craig wineries brought this wine to the next level, resulting in a profound depth of flavor that remains elegant and finely balanced.

“This is one of those “Wow” wines that when you taste it, you instantly realize it is something special. The rich nose begins with blackberry syrup, bright cassis, vanilla crème, elegant florals, menthol, and sun-baked stones. The palate has a beautiful concentration of black and red fruits, including Burgundy plums, red currants, and crushed black cherries, intertwined with a touch of dried herbs, cracked black pepper, and espresso roast. The concentrated finish is linear, expansive, and long, wrapping your palate in a mouth-quenching satin blanket. Unfortunately, it looks like the bottle will run out long before my enthusiasm does.”
