Provenance Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 2017

Viticulture

Night harvest and berry sorting were followed by a 3-day cold soak at 50 degrees Fahrenheit in stainless steel fermenters. 15 days in tank with an average fermentation temperature of 85 degrees Fahrenheit. Free run and light press to small barrels for malolactic fermentation.

Vinification

Smaller yielding but high in quantity. Much-needed rain during the winter months ended the drought. Heat waves accelerated harvest, resulting in beautiful fruit expression, highly saturated color, and concentrated layers of flavor complexity.

Tasting notes

Fresh and layered with currants, plums and juicy fruit. Full-bodied, soft and velvety yet fresh and dry on the finish

Winery Description

Provenance Vineyards began in 1999 and quickly earned a stellar reputation as the Napa Valley Cabernet house. Over the years, Provenance expanded into also producing tasting-room only regional exclusives and single-vineyard wine for other red, Bordeaux-style blends and white wine. Its founding family had the vision to produce fine wines that were true works of art of unique “provenance” or authentic origin.

Over the years, the brand has passed through the hands of two corporate owners. And in November 2021, the Allen Lombardi family acquired Provenance Vineyards. Attracted to its rich history, timeless style and strong growth potential, the Lombardis are committed to building the next chapter of the brand – increasing domestic distribution (and expanding globally) in fine wine shops and restaurants. The goal is make Provenance Vineyards wine more accessible to Napa wine lovers throughout the world.
