The Vice Napa 2023 "The House" Cabernet Sauvignon Batch #181

The 2023 The Vice “The House” Cabernet Sauvignon Batch #181 is a classic Napa Valley expression that delivers remarkable depth and character. Crafted from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon sourced from six distinct vineyards—Spring Mountain, Atlas Peak, St. Helena, Oakville, Coombsville, and Los Carneros—it showcases the diversity of Napa’s terroir. On the nose, it opens with lush and toasty aromas of ripe dark berries and sweet spice. The palate is muscular and plush, revealing layers of cacao and tobacco leaf that wrap around a deep core of fruit. Each vineyard contributes unique elements: Spring Mountain adds rich tannins and structure, Atlas Peak brings lush purple fruit and a lingering finish, while St. Helena and Oakville offer red fruit brightness and balanced body. Coombsville lends dark fruit power and elegance, and Los Carneros imparts vibrancy and freshness. The finish is long, creamy, and velvety, with the wine showing even greater nuance the day after opening. Sustainably crafted with minimal intervention, it’s designed to elevate everyday moments into something special.
