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

WA92+
Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley has an enticing earthy/meaty/savory nose with a baked plums and crème de cassis core over chargrill and garrigue hints plus a waft of tapenade. The full-bodied palate is relatively restrained and earthy in nature, featuring muscular fruit and firm, chewy tannins, finishing on a lingering mineral note.
