Altamura 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley

Price: $84.95

Purchase


Altamura makes one of the best "under the radar" Cabernet Sauvignon's in Napa Valley. If you like the big cult Cabernet's, try this for a fraction of the price.

94 Points Wine Spectator: "Combinesa very ripe, spicy dark berry fruit that's even a touch racy, with a firm backbone and a well-structured mix of acidity and tannins.  The fruit is potent and concentrated, yet also shows a suppleness and measure of grace.  Should only get better.  Drink now through 2024."

Altamura Winery

Altamura Vineyards

Altamura Vineyards and Winery was established in 1985 by Frank and Karen Altamura and is the only winery located in Wooden Valley. Well-known wineries such as Stags' Leap Winery, Pahlmeyer, and Caymus purchase grapes from this area, yet Altamura is the first to capture the uniqueness of the area in a bottling. Frank and Karen have a decidedly hands-on approach to every step of the growing and winemaking process. Thus a natural production limit is established and the wines reflect this deep commitment to quality.
