Tête Brulée, Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley, 2007
Tête Brûlée is a cult Napa Valley producer known for crafting powerful Cabernet Sauvignons from meticulously farmed hillside vineyards. Production is extremely limited, with a focus on low yields, careful extraction, and extended élevage designed to build structure and longevity. The wines are unapologetically Napa in scale, but guided by precision rather than excess.
The 2007 vintage, one of Napa Valley’s standout years, has matured into a richly layered and expressive wine. Aromas of blackcurrant, dark plum, and cassis are interwoven with notes of cedar, graphite, leather, and warm spice. On the palate, the wine is full and resonant, with softened, integrated tannins and balanced acidity giving it both depth and composure. The finish is long and savory, showing the benefits of time in bottle while retaining impressive vitality.
A fully developed Napa Cabernet that offers richness, structure, and complexity in equal measure is ideal for those looking to experience a mature expression from a highly distinctive producer.
Varietal: Cabernet Sauvignon
Appellation: Napa Valley, California, United States
Farming: Sustainably farmed
Style: Red. Mature, powerful, and age-resolved
