Camille Benitah Maxville Lake Winery Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2015
About the wine
Limited-edition 2015 Napa Cabernet brought to you by one of the valley's top talents
- Refined dark fruit flavors of black cherry, plum and raspberry layer this rich, mouth-filling, limited-release 2015 Cabernet, with an elegant, softened texture from six years of aging.
- Camille harvested grapes from 30-year-old vines in the Chiles Valley subregion of northern Napa, and treated this Cabernet to a little extra finesse with two years of generous barrel-aging in French oak.
- Camille is an icon on both sides of the Atlantic, combining the elegance of her native France with the bold power of Napa reds to bring you high-end, small-production wines like this 2015 Cabernet.
Best before
This Cabernet will improve for the next 5 to 10 years, but thanks to years of bottle aging it already has a beautiful bouquet now.
Serving advice
This Cabernet will be delicious right away.
Food match
The rich flavor and high tannin content in Cabernet Sauvignon make it a perfect partner to rich grilled meats, peppery sauces, and dishes with lots of flavor.
Contains sulphites
Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Camille Benitah
- Camille learned her craft in Bordeaux, France working at very prestigious Chateaux there. She moved to California and was the winemaker for one of Napa's most sought-out cult wines, Merus ($150 a bottle).
- But like all real artists, Camille wanted to make her own wine, her own way -- and Angels allow her to do just that. She's uncompromising and fiercely protective of her wines every step of the way.
- We didn't hold anything back with Camille. She gets to make her dream wine, no holds barred, and the results are spectacular.
