Provenance Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 2019

The 2019 growing season brought late spring rains during flowering causing fruiting to be lighter than usual. This resulted in exceptional concentration and retention of flavor and aromas. Mild fall temperatures helped the fruit to naturally mature fully, leaving us with a harvest that had mild and regulated tannins and an ideal sugar content. 2019 became an excellent vintage that will continue to impress as this wine ages in bottle.

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.
