Janzen Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley
The ‘Red label’ Janzen Cabernet Sauvignon is a great introduction to the Janzen Cabernet lineup. It is sourced from the Cloudy’s estate along with lower Estate vineyards (Sherry’s Acre and Meadows) augmented with Beckstoffer fruit from Oakville and Rutherford. Claus and Kirk’s years of experience in Napa give them great access to great valley floor vineyards. Kirk Venge blends lots that are more expressive for early drinking to create a balanced and approachable wine. The result is a wine with the richness of great bench vineyards and a touch of hillside vineyard power. The Janzen Red Label is made in a ripe forward style that delivers what many drinkers are looking for in a Napa Cabernet.
