Kelham | 2014 ESTATE CABERNET SAUVIGNON, Oakville | Napa Valley

Tasting Notes:
The 2014 Kelham Cabernet Sauvignon is a quintessential expression of Oakville terroir—rich, structured, and gracefully aging. In the glass, it presents a deep garnet hue with hints of brick at the rim, showing its maturity.

On the nose, the wine opens with layers of ripe blackberries, cassis, and dried plums, complemented by savory notes of tobacco leaf, leather, and a touch of eucalyptus. Subtle undertones of vanilla, cedar, and baking spice arise from extended aging in French oak.

The palate is full-bodied yet refined, with velvety tannins and a well-integrated acidity that lends balance and freshness. Flavors of dark cherry, mocha, graphite, and roasted espresso unfold in a long, contemplative finish, echoing the classic structure and depth of Oakville Cabernet.

Pairing Suggestions:
This wine pairs beautifully with dry-aged ribeye, rosemary lamb chops, or a wild mushroom risotto. Decant for 30–60 minutes to fully awaken its complexity.

Cellaring:
Drinking beautifully now with proper decanting, but will continue to evolve gracefully through 2045+
