Venge Vineyards
Bone Ash Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon
Calistoga, Napa Valley, California, USA
The epitome of smooth and majestic.
Not easy to find on the secondary market, but worth securing a bottle at the right price. Notes of mocha and espresso on the nose and mid-palate segue to polished tannins and moderate acidity. The capstone is a nice balanced weight and mouthfeel. Never disappointed with this botting.

You know when it’s good cos you immediately go online searching for more. This is our last bottle.

This is a fantastic Cabernet! Maybe the best current release cabernet I’ve had this year (so far). Sweet wood tannins well integrated, fresh red currants, and boysenberry. Great now, will age well for 20yr.

Nov 8th, 2021Venge Bone Ash is just so consistent. No corners or sharp edges to negotiate. Smooth and textured, displaying coffee, black fruits, moderate sweetness, and a tannic structure, which tilts beyond medium. Consumed across two days, and it behaved across both.

Aug 4th, 2021Sunday nite with my wife and soulmate. She chose one of her faves to compliment our dinner.. always a strong presentation, not as present as the 16 vintage. It’s extracted, but doesn’t display the poise and grace that we have become accustomed to with this bottling. Given the price, I won’t purchase more than the 3 bottles that I have.

Displays depth, texture and sheer complexity. This will sail on for years.

Lost my original notes in the DL ether, so here I am again...
Lovely oak nose complimented with roses. Exotic dark fruits on the palate combine with cassis, forest floor and roasted coffee. Plush tannins mingle with moderate acidity. This is a truly brilliant example of a Cabernet.

So consistent, with purity of fruit. Displays a nice sense of place. Tannins are focused. Excellent oak treatment.
Renovation update - second staircase will go in tomorrow✌🏾
