Vineyard Notes

Our 2019 Abela Red Wine represents a unique opportunity to experience a limited release Napa Valley red blend that is crafted from Estate-grown fruit. While the Rutherford appellation is celebrated for producing world-class Cabernet Sauvignon, we have meticulously selected and cultivated clones of several other red varietals that are ideally suited to the Estate’s terroir. For the 2018 vintage, we paired Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot, and Malbec to create an elegant and distinctive blend.
