"The best grapes make the best wines" - that's the philosophy Louis M. Martini built an empire on, and 80+ years later, it still runs through every single bottle bearing his name. The 2019 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is that conviction in liquid form; it's robust, polished, and built to drink beautifully now or reward you for holding onto it. Better yet, this one comes in a magnum size because a 94-point Cab this good deserves a bigger bottle, a bigger table, and a bigger celebration. Lock in these limited-time savings before they're gone, and let this be the centerpiece of your next big gathering!

Tasting Notes
Our 2019 Louis M. Martini Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon showcases the stellar 2019 vintage of all five Bordeaux varieties. Classic and well-structured, our Cabernet Sauvignon brims with soft and approachable notes of black plum and wisps of fennel on the nose. Layers of dark cherry and cassis are underscored by hints of black licorice and a gravelly earthiness. The oak is well-integrated, imparting notes of sweet aromatics, resin, and a bit of torn mint on the long finish. This wine is incredibly enjoyable now and will age for years to come.

Tasting Notes: This is a floral Cabernet with scents of strawberries and rose petals, the soft saturation of its black-currant fruit held by sweet grape-skin tannins. Solidly built and suited to short-term aging.

Tasting Notes: For decades, the Louis Martini winery has provided some of the best value Cabernet Sauvignon fruit in California. They offer balanced and complex Cabernets at a very friendly price compared to neighboring producers. The 2019 Napa Cabernet is full and concentrated and has the balance and structure that bodes well for cellaring. The wine shows pure blackberry and blackcurrant fruit aromas with hints of vanilla, herbs, cocoa, tobacco and black pepper spice. Layered full on the palate, the black fruits are enhanced by elements of red cherry, baking spices, herbs and cocoa. The red and black fruit elements are interwoven with the spice nuances and linger at the finish. The 2019 Napa Cabernet will cellar well for another decade.

Tasting Notes: Martini's 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley comes from a multitude of Gallo-owned properties and includes about one-fourth purchased fruit. Marked by notes of almost peppery-spicy oak and ripe cassis, it's full-bodied, ripe and generous, still not that rich or textured but a clear step up from Martini's Sonoma County Cabernet, with a long, mouthwatering finish.
