Ziata Meteor Vineyard Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

Ziata is the boutique Napa Valley label of Karen Cakebread, who spent nearly two decades at Cakebread Cellars, served on the boards of the Napa Valley Vintners and Napa Valley Grapegrowers, was named Napa County Woman of the Year in 2017, and launched Ziata in 2008 with the goal of making beautifully structured wines that reflect the vineyards they come from. The name honors her late mother, Mary Annunziata. This Cabernet Sauvignon comes from Meteor Vineyard in Coombsville, a cult site on volcanic soils in the cool southeastern corner of Napa Valley that also supplies some of the region's most sought-after producers. The 2019 vintage, a long, moderate growing season, produced a deep ruby wine of cherry, boysenberry preserves, blackberry jam and mulberry, with a hint of dried dill seed and sage on the nose, bright, mouthwatering acidity on the palate, gravelly, dusty tannins with moderate grip and a finish of woodsy spice. It is aged in French oak, a majority new, and bottled at roughly 14.8% ABV in very small quantities, with the structure to develop for 15 years. Pair it with roast lamb or a dry-aged ribeye. Vintages may vary; we ship the current release. 750ml bottle.
