Seduce Cabernet Sauvignon 2023


A blended Cabernet Sauvignon from six of our Napa and Sonoma vineyards Seduce is an elegantly sensual Cabernet Sauvignon characterized by deep color, incredible flavors and a controlled tannic structure.

In making Seduce we wanted to develop a delicious, food-friendly, Cabernet Sauvignon - but not a beast.

It needed to be sufficiently elegant to be enjoyed alone, sip by sip, allowing its flavor nuances to unfold like an old world Cabernet that had been aged twenty five years.

It also needed to be a perfect pairing for a two inch thick T-bone with a herb and butter sauce.

I think we nailed it . . . Bill

A deep dark complex nose while on the palate it shows ripe black fruits framed by firm but polished tannins, balanced acidity, and a touch of mocha and tobacco on the finish. The wine is full-bodied, structured and built for both early enjoyment and medium-term cellaring.

This is a classic Bordeaux-inspired blend with Sonoma character—structured, fruit-driven, and versatile at the table. The style of this wine has refined over the years, offering suppleness and softness, establishing consistency of quality over time.

The 2023 was the vintage of a lifetime. We experienced a long, consistent growing season, allowing grapes to ripen slowly in balanced conditions. This resulted in plush, concentrated flavors, deep color, freshness, and strong tannic structure—ideal for long-lived wines.

This blend leads with the dark-fruited intensity of Cabernet Sauvignon—cassis, blackberry, and black cherry—layered with subtle cedar. A little touch of Estate Merlot softens the edges, lending a plush mid-palate and hints of red plum while two drops of Malbec adds violet lift and juiciness and a drop of Petit Verdot contributes structure, depth, and savory spice.

French Oak for 22 months, approximately 50% new, 40% one use and the balance neutral.
