This structured and 'muscular' red wine originates from the United States, within the prestigious Napa Valley A.V.A. (specifically utilizing fruit from benchland and mountain sites across the valley, crafted under the supervision of Chimney Rock's acclaimed winemaking team). Produced under the exclusive Iconoclast label, this bottling was created to challenge conventional style norms by balancing modern California power and velvety black-fruit intensity with classical European structural restraint and balance. Sourced from choice vineyard blocks featuring well-draining volcanic tufa, gravelly loam, and iron-rich soils, the vines benefit from warm, sun-drenched days tempered by cool afternoon breezes and morning fog off San Pablo Bay. This microclimate allows Cabernet Sauvignon and its classic Bordeaux blending partners to achieve complete phenolic maturity, building dense fruit concentration and a firm structural frame.
Wine Description
Iconoclast Cabernet Sauvignon presents an intense, opaque purple-black color in the glass with bright ruby-garnet highlights at the rim. Its sensory profile is exceptionally bold, deep, and high-toned, offering a concentrated, complex, and precisely focused expression of Napa Valley Cabernet. The bouquet opens with a lavish display of crème de cassis, wild blackberries, and dark plum compote, seamlessly layered with complex underlays of cigar box, dark chocolate, graphite, sweet pipe tobacco, dried sage, and a subtle touch of toasted oak wood. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, dense, and powerfully structured, showcasing a succulent, mouth-coating core of black stone fruits, cocoa nibs, and savory spices. It is characterized by its outstanding inner energy and an incisive, mouthwatering backbone of natural acidity that effortlessly elevates its rich mid-palate extract. The mouthfeel is broad, muscular, and athletic, driven by firm, fine-grained, and chalky tannins that glide into an extraordinarily long, dry, and savory finish accented by lingering notes of dark berry compote, iron, and toasted cedar.
