About Kukeri Wines
“Kukeri Wines source grapes from some of the most unusual vineyards in Napa Valley and Sonoma County. ‘We treat that fruit as gently as possible, producing small lots of quality wines that display the complexity, power, finesse, and specific terroir of Cabernet Sauvignon grown in Mount Veeder, and Pinot Noir from Petaluma Gap, Los Carneros, and Russian River Valley.’”

TASTING NOTES:
Truchard Vineyards / Atlas Peak - “Bold and wild, the 2019 Kukeri Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon exhibits aromas of dark fruits, black tea, tobacco and green olives, accented with earthy spice notes. A hint of mountain forest, light cedar oak and dusty baking cocoa combine these aromatics to create this rich full-bodied Napa Cabernet Sauvignon with medium acidity and long legs…” (AbV 15.1%)

Stags Leap - “Bold and beautifully colored the 2019 Kukeri Stags Leap Cabernet Sauvignon, exhibiting aromas of wild berries, cassis, and cigar box. On the palate, the rich and concentrated flavors of wild blackberry, dark cherry, ripe plum, fresh mountain herbs and savory spices are in perfect harmony with the rich, velvety texture, firm tannins, well-integrated structure, and a long and persistent finish with great lingering acidity…” (AbV 15.1%, pH 3.79)

Oakville - “…aromas of dark cherries, plum, spices and cigar box. On the palate, the rich and concentrated flavors of wild blackberry, cassis and fresh mountain herbs are in perfect harmony with the rich, velvety texture, with beautifully integrated tannins. Bright acidity and good structure combine with a lush suppleness, contributing to the elegant silky finish…” (AbV 15.1%, pH 3.68)

Howell Mountain - “Big and intense the 2019 Kukeri Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon, exhibiting aromas of black cherries, plums and wild blueberries, dark chocolate with splash of spices.
