2023 CHLORIS CABERNET SAUVIGNON

In Greek mythology, Chloris was a nymph of flowers and spring, associated with the fresh growth and renewal of the natural world. Her name, derived from the Greek “Chloros”, meaning “green” or “fresh,” evokes the vibrant energy of new life. According to myth, Chloris was transformed into Flora, the Roman goddess of flowers and spring, becoming a symbol of renewal, abundance, and the enduring cycle of nature.

A bold and beautifully refined expression of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2023 Chloris brings together fruit from Hardman Vineyard in Oak Knoll and the Komes Block on Zinfandel Lane in Rutherford. The two sites create a compelling balance of freshness, depth, and richness, with layers of black cherry, cassis, and ripe blackberry complemented by espresso, cedar, dark chocolate, and subtle mint. Full-bodied yet graceful, Chloris is framed by velvety texture and fine-grained tannins, leading to a long, elegant finish. A sophisticated Cabernet to enjoy now or cellar for years to come.
