About the wine
Lyrical Napa Cabernet in honor of a mentor
- Teeming with deep, dark flavors like ripe black cherry and juicy plum – with a plush, velvety texture and a dash of sweet oak spice from premium barrel aging – Daniel’s Cabernet is poetry in motion.
- With your support, Daniel created this Cabernet masterpiece as a homage to his UC Davis professor and renowned viticulturist Dr. Harold Olmo – from a single iconic vineyard in Napa’s famed Oakville Bench that Harold showed him in 1976. The rest of Daniel's story is Wine Country history.
- Daniel made top-tier Cabernet for the likes of Silver Oak and Dominus for decades. Now he’s all yours. Treat yourself to this irresistible sip of luxury. Sumptuous, silky and seductive – Daniel’s Cabernet has it all.
Best before
This one is a keeper. It will age for 25-30 years in proper cellar conditions, i.e., constant temperatures between 50-60F.
Serving advice
If drinking now, decant, decant, decant - and serve cooler than room temperature.
Food match
I would pair this wine with a dry-aged, bone-in ribeye and scalloped potatoes. It would also be great with osso buco, hearty meat pasta or grilled vegetables like portobello mushroom.
