Cabernet Blending Workshop
Taste four single-varietal components, build your own Bordeaux-style blend and take home a bottle with your own label.
Overview
Every Napa Cabernet is a decision, and this workshop lets you make one. In the barrel room you'll taste four components from recent vintages: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, each on its own.
Then the fun part. With graduated cylinders and a little guidance, you'll build and re-build a blend until it tastes right to you. Your final recipe is bottled, corked and labeled on the spot, and the best blend of the month earns a magnum.
