Today we share one of the beautiful Napa producers of Cabernet Sauvignon. The Revana Family Vineyard was founded by eminent cardiologist Dr. Madaiah Revana. Dr. Revana also owns a world-class Oregon winery named after his daughter, Alexana, as well as Corazon del Sol in Argentina. A big purchase was made in 1997 as Dr. Revana immediately sensed the property’s potential, with its gravelly soils, sloped pitch, and excellent exposures seemed perfect for growing grapes. Soil studies also confirmed that the property would be perfect for growing Bordeaux varieties. Then in 1998, Dr. Revana hired acclaimed vineyard manager Jim Barbour to plant and maintain the 9-acre estate vineyard. The first vintage of Revana in 2001, initially utilizing the winemaking talents of Heidi Barrett.
I was completely blown away with their new release, the 2021 Revana Cabernet Sauvignon (OB, 99) which is the finest wine I have tasted from this estate yet and flirts with perfection in its pillowy texture and great depth and underlying tension.
