Andrew Cotti
2022 Cabernet Sauvignon
, Napa Valley
St. Helena

95 Points - Bonfort's Wine & Spirits Journal

Dark crimson hue, and gracious from the moment it hits the glass, with sultry aromas of vibrant blackberry, dark cherry, fresh fig, bright blueberry and notes of oak that envelope your senses.  Medium-bodied and remarkably velvety, its tannins gracefully interweave, establishing a flawless equilibrium of acidity and pleasing fruit, revealing hints of vanilla and spice creating a balanced and intriguing profile that reflects the rich terroir of St. Helena's appellation.  Its gratifying finish lingers on the palate for an eternity.  An outstanding wine!

Grapes for this gem were meticulously handpicked from a 3 acre planted hillside vineyard west of St Helena in the Napa Valley.  Farmed organically, and aged in French oak barrels for 23 months.  The result is a harmoniously intricate flavor profile that exudes sophistication.

Approachable now, and has plenty of depth, structure, and complexity to lay down for another 7-10 years.

Less than a 150 cases EVER MADE and we have just enough to share with you today.  While it lasts!

Pairings include Bone-in pork chop, duck confit, earthy cheese, slow-roasted prime rib, chocolate truffle, even a fine cigar by the fireplace.

History
Previously named Andrew Cain, now under the name of Andrew Cotti, the same winery with a slight name change.  Founded by brothers, Jason “Andrew” Hooten and Jonathan “Cain” Hooten.  Born and raised in Napa, CA, both brothers have worked in the Wine & Spirits industry for a combined 55+ years.

Vintage
Mild spring in 2022 allowed for consistent bud break, and the region's elevated vineyards experienced cooler temperatures than the valley floor, helping preserve freshness and acidity in the fruit.  Several heat spikes during the summer accelerated ripening, but careful irrigation and canopy management kept the vines in optimal condition.  Cooler fall temperatures allowed for an extended harvest period, leading to balanced phenolic ripeness.  We're very pleased with this vintage and only wish there was more!

Winemaking
Sustainable farmed grapes and grown organically, this wine was inspired by the land.  Teaming up with veteran Napa Winemakers, Chris Agan (Joseph Phelps, Relic Cellars) and Eric Lyman (Judd’s Hill) for the past 14 years.   Recent vintages have received 95 points Bonfort’s Wine & Spirits and more.
