The Winery

O’Shaughnessy

O’Shaughnessy Estate Winery sits at 1800 feet on the heralded Howell Mountain appellation in the beautiful Napa Valley. Founded in 1996 with the first of three contiguous parcels purchased by Betty O’Shaughnessy, the estate encompasses one hundred and twenty acres with forty two planted to vine. Winemaker Sean Capiaux has overseen the planting of the vineyard and selected numerous clones of Cabernet Sauvignon and all eight of the historic Bordeaux varietals for this unique property. An 12,000 square foot cave and state of the art winery of stone, steel and glass were built to Betty and Sean’s specifications by local architect Michael Guthrie. O’Shaughnessy Estate Winery owns two vineyards on Mount Veeder planted primarily to Cabernet Sauvignon. Rounding out the mountain vineyards is a thirty-acre Oakville estate with twenty-seven planted acres of Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. O’Shaughnessy Estate Winery employs modern equipment to produce classic wines which are naturally fermented and bottled unfined and unfiltered. These techniques allow the varietal character and terroir of O’Shaughnessy Estate vineyards to be the stars of the show.

Tasting Notes

WA96
This profound blend of 94% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Petit Verdot and Malbec displays an inky/purple color along with stunning aromas of lead pencil shavings intertwined with spring flowers, black raspberries, blueberries and blackberries. Deep and full-bodied with that foresty, mossy character that adds complexity as well as abundant freshness and definition that are remarkable for such a concentrated, full throttle, intense effort, this youthful, impressive 2002 is capable of lasting another two decades.
WS90
Wonderful purity of fruit, harmony and finesse, this is simply a fun wine to drink. Ripe, rich and fleshy, it exhibits a tight beam of currant, black cherry and wild berry that's complex and concentrated, finishing with fine-grained tannins and a sense of authenticity.
