Addax Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon 2014Oakville - Napa Valley

Made by Russell Bevan, one of the most sought-after winemakers in California today, Addax is a small winery project led by Josh Peeples. It began with the 2009 vintage and has now grown into a 100-case production of phenomenal Cabernet Sauvignon and now 125-case production of powerful Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir. This just released 2014 is comprised of 100% Tench Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon. Tench Vineyard is a 60-acre property with 42-acres of vine. It’s on a hill in the heart of east Oakville along Oakville Cross Road and neighbors Screaming Eagle to the north and Rudd and Harbison to the west. Tench Vineyard contains red soils of clay and volcanic rock which marries perfectly with their cabernet vines. It is one of the most sought-after vineyards for sourcing great Oakville fruit and for good reason. This 2014 offers rich blue and black fruit with a seamless texture. It is full-bodied as you would expect from a wine made by Russell but still offers finesse and great focus. 100 cases were produced.
