About The Wine

Meet a Napa Cab like no other. Crafted by J. Derek Beitler—yes, from that winemaking family (Caymus, anyone?)—this is a Cabernet you’ll want to pay attention to. Derek brings his expertise and passion into every bottle.

This wine is produced with meticulous care. A five-day cold soak, natural malolactic fermentation, and 50% new French oak barrels give this wine its luxurious texture and depth. Three years of aging on lees make it beautifully smooth.

J. Derek Beitler, winemaker and owner of JDB Wines (and maker of this Napa Cab) comes from a winemaking family that’s as well regarded as any in Napa. You may have heard of his uncle, Charlie Wagner, founder of Caymus. His brother owns Bohème in Sonoma.

Derek does not rest on the successes of his family, though. He spent his summers working at Caymus while in college and continues the pursuit of perfection in crafting his namesake wines. He now owns two wineries—Carne Humana Winery in Napa which he founded with his cousin Joey Wagner in 2010. But before that, he started his solo venture, JDB Wines, in 2007.

When someone who cut his teeth in the wine business at Caymus makes a Napa Cab, you pay attention. That’s a good thing because the this wine deserves your attention.

This isn’t just any Cab—this is Napa royalty in a bottle, crafted by a winemaker who knows his stuff. Small production, big impact. Grab it while you can!

100% Cabernet Sauvignon.

Showcases a deep ruby hue with aromas of vanilla, mocha, dried red and black fruits, and hints of leather and oak.

On the palate, it reveals rich flavors of dark cherry, and dark chocolate, firm tannins and a lingering finish of black tea and oak.

This bold Napa Cab pairs beautifully with grilled rib eye, lamb chops, or aged cheddar, making it a perfect match for hearty, flavorful dishes.
