2019 Julien Fayard Sleeping Lady Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley

The pristine Sleeping Lady Vineyard sits beautifully manicured beneath the Mayacamas foothills in Yountville. For five generations, the fruit from this vineyard was sold to larger wineries, but when the Bettinelli family recently took over the property that changed. Today, Sleeping Lady is one of California’s “grand cru” vineyards, and Julien believes it represents the future of modern Cabernet Sauvignon in Napa Valley. Julien Fayard’s Sleeping Lady Cabernet Sauvignon offers unparalleled texture—notes of blackberry, ripe blueberry, black currant and licorice are intertwined with silky-smooth tannins for an ultra-velvety finish.
