Reviews:

• Vinous: The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon is just as impressive from bottle as it was from barrel. Powerful, dark and imposing, the 2016 possesses terrific freshness and energy. Hints of lavender, spice, chocolate and leather add shades of nuance to this vibrant full-throttle, beautifully, layered Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon.

• Jeb Dunnuck: Showing the quality of the vintage, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon offers a voluptuous, rounded, full-bodied style as well as textbook notes of crme de cassis, tobacco, cedarwood, and earth. Deep, plush, and seamless on the palate.

Producer Information

Roy Estate was founded by Charles and Shirley Ro. A unique property blessed by its geography, topography, and terroir is situated immediately south of the renowned Stags Leap District at the cooler southern end of the Napa Valley. gentle slopes of Roy Estate are planted with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. On one side, classic volcanic soil produces smaller, low-yielding vines that generate wines with powerful tannins. The soil on the other side is more loamy and deep, supporting bigger and stronger vines that give more generous, profound, layered wines. The cooler conditions give their wines a more European-style tannic structure with a clear focus on the purity of the fruit. Summer fog often clings until mid-morning, moderating the suns intensity, preserving acidity and yielding wines with softer, fresher nuances.
