96+ Points Wine Independent (Lisa Perrotti-Brown):“The 2018 Altamura Cabernet Sauvignon is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon and is deep-garnet purple in color. It slowly unfurls to reveal intense scents of blackcurrant cordial, blackberry preserves, and dried lavender, plus suggestions of crushed rocks and black olives. Full-bodied, the palate delivers vibrant, lively black fruit and mineral layers, supported by velvety tannins, finishing long and fragrant….located on Wooden Valley Road, Altamura is a working ranch that has been owned and managed by the same family since 1855.“

Established in 1985 by Frank and Karen Altamura, Altamura Vineyards and Winery is the sole winery situated in the historical farming region of Wooden Valley, located within the eastern foothills of famed Napa Valley. Altamura is the first to capture the unique characteristics of Wooden Valley in a bottling. Napa native Frank and Karen have a decidedly hands-on approach to every step of the growing and winemaking process. Thus, a natural production limit is established and the wines reflect the Altamuras’ deep commitment to reflecting the terroir of their Wooden Valley Ranch
