Keenan Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2014 | Gorgeous Depth
Keenan Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2014 presents deep crimson. Elegant and refined with intoxicating aromas of black currant, cedar, tobacco and mint chocolate. While broad and mouth-filling on the palate, with plush tannins. Hence made so by a warm, drought-stricken dream vintage. But not lacking any of the classic Spring Mountain muscle typical of a Keenan Cabernet. Plus generous layers of dark-berried fruit, gorgeously integrated oak spice, and a long finish tinged with red floral notes.

91AG | The Keenan Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2014 offers notable depth and intensity in the mid-weight. While classically inspired style that runs through all these wines. However, the coarse, somewhat rustic, tannins need quite a bit of air to soften. But once they do, pretty red stone fruit, spice and floral notes start to develop.”
From the Robert Keenan Winery
The Keenan Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2014 is composed primarily of grapes grown on Keenan’s Spring Mountain District Estate. While the remainder of the fruit was harvested from Pope Valley, a grape growing region located in the eastern portion of Napa.
