Boomslang Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

Wine Type: Red Wine

Country: United States

Region: California

Grapes: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon

Brand Story: ”Our Boomslang Cabernet Sauvignon is made from grapes grown on thirty-five-year-old vines of varying vintages ranging from 2019 to 2022. This family-owned site is most well known for its iconic quality over four decades.”

Decanter: “Boomslang is a multi-vintage blend of 2019, 2021, and 2022 fruit, and is crafted by Kevin Morrisey (formerly of Ehlers Estate). It’s an incredibly easy-drinking, smooth Cabernet with just enough fine-grained tannins to layer in a bit of grippy texture, but for the most part, it’s a pretty, red-fruited elegant Cabernet with good tension and energy. This makes me wish California wineries would do more non-vintage blends.”
