Embark on a journey of unparalleled excellence with the 2013 Hewitt Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon Double Plus—a true testament to the artistry of winemaking. Crafted from the highest quality grapes sourced from Rutherford, Hewitt Vineyard goes above and beyond with the Double Plus, a meticulous barrel selection process that elevates this vintage to extraordinary heights.
The Double Plus is a manifestation of uncompromising dedication to quality. Before the winemaking journey even begins, the highest quality grapes from Rutherford are selected to create the foundation of excellence. The winemaker then meticulously tests every barrel from that vintage, leaving no stone unturned. Only an extremely limited quantity of the most exceptional barrels—those that stand out in terms of complexity, depth, and character—make the cut for the coveted Double Plus. If, in a particular vintage, no barrels surpass the stringent standards set by Hewitt, there is no Double Plus, ensuring that only the pinnacle of quality reaches your glass.
As you savor this exceptional Cabernet Sauvignon, anticipate a symphony of flavors that dance on the palate. Velvety tannins promise a bold structure, guaranteeing both depth and longevity. Indulge in the intense dark fruit notes of black cherry, cassis, and hints of plum, a concentration of flavors that speaks to the exceptional terroir of Napa Valley. The oak-kissed elegance, derived from meticulous aging in French oak barrels, unveils layers of complexity with subtle nuances of vanilla, cedar, and a touch of mocha.
Perfect for intimate celebrations or moments of reflection, pair this Cabernet with prime rib roast, grilled ribeye steak, or aged cheeses.
