Récoltant’s Artist Series Cabernet Sauvignon shows classic Napa Cab character with deep blackberry, cassis, and ripe plum aromas lifted by violet, graphite, and a touch of dark chocolate.

The palate is full-bodied and focused, with concentrated blackcurrant and blueberry fruit, espresso-like depth, and finely knit tannins. French oak brings in cedar, vanilla, and baking spice without pushing the fruit out of balance, giving it a polished, structured feel. It sits in the lane of a younger, approachable Napa Cabernet, with enough richness to recall the style of Beaulieu Vineyard or Chappellet in a more fruit-forward register.

Serve with dry-aged ribeye or braised short ribs.
