2017 Routestock Cabernet Sauvignon Route 29

Named for a north-to-south throughway that traverses Napa Valley, this blend of 82% Cabernet Sauvignon and 7% Cab Franc with small portions of Malbec, Petit Verdot, and Merlot exudes aromas of mint, cedar, and ripe blackberry. The nose mimics the palate, which sees the addition of a dusting of chocolate as well as violets and savory Italian herbs.

RouteStock is an endeavor of Wilson Daniels. After more than forty years of working with some of the world’s greatest wine families, we’ve formed many key relationships. Through these relationships we have access to exceptionally high-quality fruit sources, allowing us to craft wines with superior quality and authenticity.

RouteStock creates high-quality varietal wines from the world’s most highly regarded wine regions, while paying homage to the roads we travel when we journey through wine country. While there may not be a physical winery and tasting room, RouteStock varies vastly from other négociant brands. We are dedicated to sourcing great fruit and we work very closely with each or our grower partners to grow and produce the wine to our specifications.

All the pieces of each RouteStock wine are treated as if they would be a flagship cuvée. There is absolutely no tank-aged, chipped, augmented, colored or otherwise manipulated wine in any of our finished product. The wines are aged 100% in oak.
