Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon tends toward ripe, structured red wine with firm tannins and dark fruit, and this 2023 bottling from Oberon works in that mold, a still red built around the grape that defines the region. It speaks to the Napa style without the weight that comes from higher up the price ladder, an everyday introduction to what California Cabernet does well.

A family collaboration based around the Bure family with the idea of being more accessible, the 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon offers rocking levels of ripe blackcurrants, spicy wood, Asian spice, and chocolate. On the palate, it's full-bodied with a round, layered mouthfeel, beautiful tannins, and a great finish. It's drinking fabulously today yet should have no issues evolving gracefully for 15+ years if well stored. Drink 2025-2040. (Jeb Dunnuck, December 2025)
Aromas of red and black currants, bitter chocolate, licorice, spices and earth. The palate is full-bodied with fine tannins, a rounded mouthfeel and a balanced finish. Nicely constructed. Drink or hold. (James Suckling, January 2026)
