Vintage Description
Reviews

This elegant red blend is structured with length and a graceful, fine grain of tannin. Vibrant and deep reds and purples introduce Élu, with aromas of black plum and juicy blackberry. The fragrances of anise, graphite, dark cocoa, espresso and toasted barrel add extra depth and richness. Flavors of black plum and youthful blackberry are complemented with a hint of cassis, together with notes of espresso, black pepper and black licorice.

A red grape blend.

The Estate

St. Supéry Estate Vineyards and Winery is a 100% Estate Grown, sustainably farmed winery located in the renowned Rutherford growing region in the heart of Napa Valley. Committed to producing the highest quality estate wines without compromise, we focus on sustainable winery and farming operations to protect the land and environment for future generations. Our Napa Valley Estate collection includes Sauvignon Blanc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Rosé and Moscato. These wines are balanced and showcase bright, fruit-forward flavors.

Wine Making

These berries were delivered to a fermenter where there was a period of resting on skins. Warm fermentation temperatures were encouraged along with gentle cap maceration to achieve the desired color and structure for the wine before an extended maceration time on skins prior to final pressing. The wine was transferred directly to barrel for 19 months of maturation. Forty percent of the sorted berries used in this blend were fermented in French Oak barrels to add layers of complexity to the wine. After fermentation, the wine remained in those same barrels for aging.

Food Suggestions

Pairs well with beef, lamb, deer, venison, and poultry dishes.

An array of ripe blackberries and blueberries, blue flowers, chocolate, licorice and pinewood. Some hazelnuts, too. Full body and a firm texture with fine-grained tannins and delicious fruit. Polished and refined with a lingering, velvety mouth-feel. Deep and long. Already really tasty.

Based on 71% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Merlot, and the rest a mix of Bordeaux varieties, the 2019 Red Blend Estate Elu is a forward, opulent, undeniably delicious red that has some spicy oak, notes of cassis and tobacco, medium to full body, and ripe tannins.

James Suckling | 2019 Vintage – 94 Points

Lots of blackberry, earth and spice, such as cloves, on the nose. Violets, too. It’s full-bodied with very fine tannins that give the wine form and firmness. Fine tannins at the end. 64% cabernet sauvignon, 19% merlot, 9% malbec, 5% petit verdot. and 3% cabernet franc. Drink or hold.
