The 2023 vintage was defined by a cool, wet winter and spring that delayed bud break and extended the growing season. Mild summer temperatures followed, with few extreme heat spikes, allowing grapes to ripen slowly and evenly. Our Cabernet Sauvignon grapes were harvested under optimal conditions beginning October1st and finishing just before the first Fall rains on November 5th, capturing the distinctive deep black fruit, supple tannins, and velvety aromatics Oberon is known for. The cool Fall weather enhanced flavor complexity while preserving freshness. Smaller yields with concentrated fruit led to elegant, balanced wines with purity and depth—hallmarks of a truly classic vintage.

After the grapes were gently hand-harvested, de-stemmed and crushed, the Cabernet Sauvignon fermented in stainless steel tanks with an extended post-fermentation maceration. Malolactic fermentation with French oak, combined with 12 months aging (45% new French oak), helped to marry the wine’s flavors and tannins.

To create Oberon Cabernet Sauvignon, Tony sourced grapes from throughout Napa’s finest winegrowing regions, including Oakville, Oak Knoll, Yountville, Suscol Ridge, Chiles Valley, Pope Valley and Capell Valley. By layering fruit from Napa’s sparse volcanic soils and the deeper alluvial soils of the valley floor, Tony accomplished his goal of marrying many different expressions into one outstanding Cabernet Sauvignon that boasts a beautifully seamless mouthfeel and rich, complex black velvety texture and flavors.

The 2022 vintage was a near-perfect growing season with cool weather through July into early August. We then saw ideal warm weather conditions until the last fruit was resting safely under the watchful eyes of winemaking teams all over the Valley. Throughout our sub-appellations, harvest of our 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon vineyards began in early October and continued through the first week of November. Small berry and cluster size combined with the long ripening season contributing to the development of dense, rich, beautiful Cabernets of exceptional quality and character.

After the grapes were gently hand-harvested, de-stemmed and crushed, the Cabernet Sauvignon fermented in stainless steel tanks with an extended post-fermentation maceration. Malolactic fermentation with French oak, combined with 13 months aging (45% new French oak), helped to marry the wine’s flavors and tannins. During blending, Tony looked to other complimentary varieties, like Petite Verdot and Zinfandel, to enhance the Cabernet’s deep colors, supple silky tannins, and flavors of vibrant black cherry, candied blackberry, with a hint of coffee, dark chocolate and spice – all leading to a lingering and delightful finish.
