Kelham Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville AVA Napa California 2012

Kelham Vineyards exemplifies Napa Valley prestige. From Oakville's legendary vineyards come Cabernets of remarkable intensity and longevity—wines that reflect both Napa's global prominence and the artistry of family-driven winemaking. Deep ruby in color, this wine greets you with aromas of blackberry compote, dark cherry, and cassis, entwined with black licorice and subtle wood spice. On the palate, it is juicy and mouthwatering, framed by dusty, fine-grained tannins and a savory finish of peppercorn and cedar. “The 2012 Kelham Cabernet offers impressive power and structure at 13 years of age. A dense core of muscular, firm tannins forms the foundation of this black-fruited wine, which is packed with dark berry fruit and fashionable cedarwood spice. Reticent and tightly coiled on the pull of the cork—a promising sign—it benefits greatly from air, gradually revealing its elegant savoury charm in dried spearmint, tobacco leaf, and cassis-driven fruit. A firm backbone of racy acidity supports the wine’s robust tannic frame, maintaining freshness beneath the density and carrying through to an enticing, persistent finish.” – 95 Points, Decanter Magazine.
