Richard Bruno Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2014
About the wine
Decadent Napa Cabernet from a winemaking legend!
-
This wine’s rich, dark, and intensely flavored because Richard used grapes from a hidden area of Napa where the fruit ripens late in the season.
-
This is a silky, complex wine that's been aged for TWO YEARS in oak barrels - its supple, toasted flavors jump out the glass. Wines from neighboring vineyards sell for up to $200 bucks, but Angels don’t pay for marketing hype.
-
Take the grill as hot as it’ll go and slide a steak on those bars – it doesn’t need to be a fancy one. When it’s done to your liking, pull it off and pour yourself a glass.
Best before
If you like a big, ripe Cab then go for it now. If you like to wait for a wine to open up to its full potential, give it a couple of years. Should hit its stride in 8-10 years, but will age well through 2027.
Serving advice
Aerate and/or decant.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Richard Bruno
Years Angel-funded: 2013-2023
- Richard Bruno is exactly what we love in a winemaker– the quiet achiever behind the scenes at some of the world's most famous wine brands. He's made wine for Francis Ford Coppola and Don Sebastiani, the latter of which was named Winery of the Year TWICE under his watch.
- During his decades making wine for famous wineries and earning them 90+ scores, he has traveled all up and down California's coastal wine regions. His experience and familiarity with the terrain allow him to sniff out the best-bang-for-buck pretty much anywhere in the state.
- Launching one's wine brand is hard and expensive, so Richard is using Angel funding – and he's able to focus on winemaking, instead of selling wine.
