The Ehlers 2023 Estate Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon opens with a plush richness and notes of black cherry, plum compote, wild berry bramble, warm spices, and dried herbs. On the palate, the wine is supple yet finely structured, with a velvety texture and juicy fruit, before unveiling deeper nuances of cedar, mocha, and baking spices, along with savory undertones. The tannins are polished but firm, providing a strong backbone that carries the wine through a long, harmonious finish. ~ 96 Anne Sewell Briggs, DipWSET
Wild berries and ripe plums lift from the glass carrying nose to palate with mixed black and purple fruits, spiced tobacco, dried blossoms, and oiled leather. An otherwise brooding character for this Cabernet gains complexity with succulent texture, melting tannins an almost steely, refreshing quality. Enjoy with braised meats and a hearty Autumn meal. Or, keep it in cellar for at least fifteen more years for further deepening of character.~93 Wine Enthusiast

THE PRODUCER
Ehlers Estate
Ehlers Estate — a historic, sustainably-farmed Napa Valley boutique winery — traces its roots back to 1886, when immigrant founder Bernard Ehlers built the stone barn that still anchors the property.
Today the estate spans 42 organic acres just north of St. Helena, producing estate-grown Bordeaux-varietal wines that reflect the unique soils and microclimate of Napa’s narrow ‘pinch’ between the Mayacamas and Vaca Mountains.
Under the stewardship of the Leducq Foundation, the winery blends Old-World tradition with modern organic and biodynamic practices — creating elegant, terroir-driven wines while supporting global cardiovascular research.
