2018 Cain Vineyard & Winery ‘Cain Five’ Meritage Spring Mountain Napa Valley

The 2018 Cain Five displays all the attributes that we love about Cain Vineyard: a complex herbal-floral bouquet, a savory, mineral palate, mouth-watering substance without heaviness, silky plush tannins, and a long finish. One of the paradoxes of the Cain Five is that it can really be enjoyed with just a couple of years in the bottle, yet will age and develop beautifully for decades. This wine doesn’t need ten years, but it can easily go the distance and well beyond. 53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 32% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Franc, 4% Malbec, 4% Petit Verdot
