John McClelland Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

John McClelland Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

Winemaker Notes

Aromas of currants, black pepper and floral notes which flow onto the palate. Bright and balanced, with black cherry, rhubarb, a touch of pomegranate, a polished texture and a long finish. Quite young on release with a more Bordeaux-like style and long aging potential.

Blend: 76% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Merlot, 7% Petit Verdot

John’s contribution and working relationship with A3 evolved into a tightly knit bond with the Scotto family and their wine related interests. John became involved with blending decisions and all brand related issues. In celebration of the 10th anniversary of this friendship, the family wanted to honor John for his six decades of service to the industry and his tremendous impact on the Scotto family of wines.

The purchase of Steele Canyon Winery in 2012 provided the platform for the creation of J. McClelland Cellars and the Scotto commitment to produce only the finest from Napa Valley, resulting in our award winning JMC wines. We now invite you enjoy the wines inspired by John McClelland and hand-crafted by Paul Scotto and Mitch Cosentino.
