This Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon wonderfully expresses its terroir, while retaining the elegance of its namesake: Hora. We enjoyed the lovely wine at the Fairmont Sonoma.
Cathiard Vineyard represents the ambitious expansion of the Cathiard family, who acquired the historic flora springs estate in Rutherford to establish their Napa Valley footprint. Building on their decades of success at Château Smith Haut Lafitte in Bordeaux, they have integrated traditional French heritage with the unique terroir of California. Their winemaking style emphasizes precision and elegance, utilizing organic practices and classic techniques to produce world-class Cabernet Sauvignon.
The 2020 Hora by Cathiard Vineyard is a wine with great depth and concentration.The Cabernet Sauvignon has notes of créme de cassis and blackberry, with additional nuance of baking spices such as clove, cinnamon, and anise. The wine has a refreshing undertone of pine needles as well.
The Cathiard family produces many amazing wines both in Napa Valley and in France, and this is yet another.
Cheers! 🍷
