Pure expression of intense aromas of black currants, dark berries, leather, tobacco leaves. Inky and powerful on the palate, amazing mouthfeel and very smooth texture. Structured tannins, and very long and pleasant finish. Extremely balanced. 87% Cab Sauv. 9.5% petit Verdot and 3.5% Malbec all sourced from their own vineyards (Ehlers Lane). Simply delicious! — 3 months ago

Ehlers estates 1886
Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2015
KAPOW! Perfection in California Cabernet Sauvignon. Sometimes you get what you pay for. This is one of those times. The bouquet is fantastic blackberry rhubarb pie. The huge dark berries upfront are fantastic. The chocolate and vanilla on the bed ballad are like velvet on the tongue. Then that beautiful Okey finish with minimal dryness and a wonderful sweet ending but absolutely no sugar if that makes any sense. This is the after taste that all Cabernet producers try to achieve.  well Ehlers have done it.  — 5 years ago

Ehlers is a perennial winner with me. The Sauv B brings white flowers and orange marmalade on the nose, with a passion fruited palate that is luxurious as can be. One of my faves. — 2 years ago

Solid 2018 from Ehlers. This #sthelenacab is delicious and smooth. One of my favorites from Premiere Napa Valley 2020 #pnv20 #pnv2020 20 cases produced. 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from Ehlers’ organic estate vineyard, which produces wines of great distinction
Located in the north end of St. Helena, the vineyard is composed of very shallow, gravelly loam soils
The wine is unfined, unfiltered and is aging in 100% new French oak
Your wine is the first vintage from winemaker Laura Díaz Muñoz

This Cabernet Sauvignon comes from Block 4 on our property which is our highest elevation block. The Cone See vines are planted in volcanic soil, the same profile found on Howell Mountain. Our vineyards have been farmed organically since 2005 and certified since 2008. This 100 percent Cabernet Sauvignon is one of the best expressions of the estate - rich in tannins and color, aromas of boysenberry, raspberry jam and forest floor herbs promise the potential of getting better in the years to come.
