I had the pleasure to speak with consulting winemaker Kian Tavakoli for @mariobazancellars talk about talent in the room.
The roots of Mario Bazán Cellars go back to 1973 when Mario immigrated to the Napa Valley from his native Oaxaca, Mexico.
When Mario arrived in the Napa Valley, he was immediately charmed by its beauty and energized by the vigorous wine growing atmosphere he observed. He continued to hone his skills over the next four decades as he advanced step-by-step from a general laborer to grape grower. Today, Mario has his own estate vineyard and highly regarded vineyard management company farming several hundred acres throughout Napa and Sonoma Valleys.
Now let me tell you about the 2015 Mario Bazán Cabernet Sauvignon, from Napa Valley 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley. Atlas Peak & Coombsville. 14.5% Alcohol. 60% New French Oak, 40% Used French Oak, aged 20 months.
This flagship wine from one of Napa’s Master Grape Growers is a wine for the ages. While tight & youthful today, this special bottle is full of promise. Mario & Gloria grew and blended this 100% Cabernet Sauvignon to impart many years of pleasure. Multi-layers of ripe fruit alternating with complex mocha, cocoa & barrel spice flavors to reveal a wine of superb potential. This vintage will define your wine experience of Napa Cabernet Sauvignon.
And this 2018 Bazán Cellars Sauvignon Blanc from Atlas Peak.
100% Sauvignon Blanc. 13.8% Alcohol. 300 Cases.
Few wines triumph in attaining such a memorable balance between rich and crisp, fruity, and minimalistic. Aromas of guava, passion fruit, and peach this complex offering highlight the flavors of shellfish, fresh cheese, salads, and light summer fare.
