          Mostly Cabernet Sauvignon (there's 13% Merlot), the 2019 Red Blend has a complex, medium-bodied, balanced, and elegant style that has tons to love. Front end-loaded with spicy red and black fruits as well as leafy herbs, savory spices, and hints of leather, it’s perfect for enjoying over the coming 8-10 years.

          Estate        
        Keever Vineyards is a small production, family-owned and operated winery located in the western hills just south of Yountville. Wine is more than just a beverage, it tells a story. It is a place and a time, a snapshot of vineyards in each vintage. Keever Vineyards happens to always tell a great story through their wines. Started in 1999, this small family owned and operated winery is located in the rocky hills of Napa Valley just southwest of Yountville. They farm a 6.5 acre vineyard planted to four clones of Cabernet Sauvignon and a small amount of Sauvignon Blanc. Their wines are handcrafted by one of California’s top winemakers Celia Welch of Scarecrow, Corra & Buccella fame. Made in very small quantities, their wines are collectable, age-worthy, and stunningly unique. 
“Wine is more than our business. We live every day among the vines and barrels, guarding them with care and love. Our stewardship of our land and our wines, our dedication to this craft and our family, result in wines that perfectly express both the seasons past and the dreams to come." -The Keever Family
      
 
          
        
          Tasting notes        
        The bright cherry and blueberry notes balanced by a touch of sweet tobacco show the distinctive aromas of the Napa Cabernet and Merlot in the blend, and the sweet earthy note beneath the fruit aromas tells the story of the Petit Verdot. At entry, the texture is full, rich, and seamless, in part due to the Cabernet Franc which adds weight and a rich texture to the blend.  Collectively, this cohesive, very approachable blend captures the complexity of the season as well as of the varietals.
