Lot 490 is a 100% estate grown Cabernet Sauvignon with a touch of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot woven in. Our NDA keeps us from giving precise vineyard locations, but we can say that the wine is a divine marriage of valley floor, benchland, and mountain fruit.

This sumptuous Cabernet opens with a rich bouquet of ripe plums, cassis, and black cherries, elegantly framed by notes of cedar, violets, and crushed gravel. Upon entry, the wine reveals a complex interplay of terroir-driven dark fruits, peppercorn, leather, and earth, bolstered by medium+ acidity and fresh tannins, making for an incredibly structured wine. The finish is long and dry, with delicately spiced red-to-black fruit complemented by nuances of vanilla bean and cedar shavings. Your favorite ribeye, filet, and tomahawk cuts just found their perfect match.

2022 Napa Cabernet

"Such a nice full bodied wine! If you can let it breathe for two hours even better! One of my favorites."

Char M. (5/5)

Very Nice

"Bought one through the bottle shop and after trying it bought several more. It is a big Napa cab as you would expect and drinkable now or can sit for a few years if you choose. We had a glass before dinner and then had the rest with a ribeye. This wine worked great both with and without food."

A Sumptuous Gem

"A personal favorite, the nose on 490 displays warm plum, black cherry, walnut/cedar, and basil. On the palate, dark red fruit, walnut, vanilla, petrichor, peppercorn, basil, and a perfect balance of forward acidity and sufficiently grippy tannins. Truly sumptuous."

Nigel B. (5/5)

Richer, more descriptive

"This sumptuous Cabernet opens with an expressive bouquet of ripe plum, cassis, and black cherry, elegantly interlaced with cedar, violets, and a hint of crushed gravel. The palate echoes these aromas with layers of dark red fruit, walnut, vanilla, basil, and a touch of peppercorn, all lifted by a refreshing, forward acidity. Firm yet well-integrated tannins provide just the right amount of grip, carrying the wine to a long, refined finish. Truly a sumptuous expression of the varietal."

Bradley S. (5/5)

Impressionable, good value

"This is one of my favorite of the initial wines I picked up from de Negoce so far. This was so balanced, enticing and expressive, with everything in the right place. Medium-bodied, not the biggest of wines, but so expressive; definitely a re-buy for me. Great value too. It's a satisfying, big cab with plenty of extension on the palate, though is still young and not showing as well as it should in a few years. I ended up buying four more. Will try and forget about the others for a while."

"Excellent"

Cheryl B. (5/5)

Pretty Good. . . but not great.

"Great aroma, delicious bold rich fruit on the front of the palate, fruit gets a bit lost in the aftertaste yielding more to spice flavors. Paired pretty well with a grilled NY strip steak. Good Cab but not great."

Steven T. (4/5)

Solid Cab

"This is a solid Cab. No complaints, however it didn't wow me like others from DeNegoce at this price point."

Nicholas J. (4/5)

Excellent Wine at a Great Price

"This Cab Sauv is great on its own or with dinner. I decanted it for about 8 hours, and it had a nice balance of fruit and tannins. I highly recommend it."

Elizabeth M. (5/5)

"Napa Cabs never disappoint! I’ve bought this one several times and after a decant, it’s fabulous."
