Kelham | 2008 ESTATE CABERNET SAUVIGNON, Oakville | Napa Valle

2008 Kelham Vineyards Estate Cabernet Sauvignon
Oakville, Napa Valley

Tasting Notes:
The 2008 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon is a refined and expressive wine, showcasing the depth and maturity that Oakville is celebrated for. In the glass, it reveals a dark garnet hue with soft brick edges, reflecting over a decade of careful aging.

The nose is layered and complex, offering aromas of blackberry, cassis, and dark cherry, intertwined with cedar, leather, and hints of dried herbs. Secondary notes of cocoa, tobacco leaf, and warm spice emerge, highlighting its time in French oak and bottle.

On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and elegant, with polished tannins and a velvety texture. Flavors of ripe black plum, blackcurrant, mocha, and a touch of earthy truffle lead into a long, lingering finish with soft spice and a whisper of graphite.

Mouthfeel:
Supple and harmonious, with the seamless balance of fruit, oak, and structure that defines classic Napa Cabernet.

Pairing Suggestions:
Beautiful alongside braised short ribs, grilled lamb chops, or roasted wild mushrooms, and equally captivating on its own.

Cellaring:
Drinking at peak maturity now, with an additional 10 years+
