Here is the stunning 2020 Revana Cabernet Sauvignon which is a remarkable achievement in a tough vintage.

Revana

September 4, 2024

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. Learn more about these beautiful wines at https://www.revanawine.com Here are the last two world-class releases by Revana.

20220 Revana Cabernet Sauvignon- This 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon was picked before the fires in Napa. It is a total knockout 2020 from the block in the estate vineyard that ripens before others on their property. Stored in 80% new French oak, this offers beautiful black florals on the nose alongside black currants, loamy soils and suggestions of milk chocolate. The palate is deep and refined with a serious sense of weight and texture. Gorgeous now, enjoy over the next ten plus years. Drink 2024-2036- 96

2021 Revana Cabernet Sauvignon- The 2021 Revana Cabernet Sauvignon comes from their estate vineyard and was stored in 80% new French oak before bottling. Loamy soil and violets mark the nose alongside wild blackberry and shades of dark chocolate shavings with graphite notes. The palate is silky and refined with a serious sense of weight and underlying verve. A total stunner, with serious weight and length, this is a show-stopper that is drinking marvelously right now in its heady youth. Enjoy now and over the next twenty years. Drink 2024-2044- 99
