Product details
Crafted by Stewart Cellars, the 2022 Thistle & Thorn Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon exemplifies the bold elegance of 100% estate-bottled Napa Valley fruit. The winemaking process begins with whole-cluster pressing and overnight settling, followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks and weekly stirring for six weeks post-fermentation to enhance texture and depth. This meticulous approach results in a full-bodied Cabernet with a dark and inviting nose of ripe plum, vanilla, and a hint of blueberry.
On the palate, this wine delivers rich flavors of blackberry and blackcurrant, complemented by subtle notes of toasty French oak. The velvety, fine-grained tannins provide structure and lead to a long, lingering finish, making it a classic expression of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. Perfect for pairing with hearty meals or savoring on its own, Thistle & Thorn 2022 is a testament to the artistry of Stewart Cellars and the exceptional terroir of Napa Valley.
