This brand new release of Toymaker Cabernet is a deep, dark and dazzling winner from Napa’s unanimously acclaimed 2016 vintage. The texture reminds me of luxuriously smooth cashmere in a glass and is guaranteed to delight fans of Napa’s most intensely rich Cult-style reds. The full-throttle  fruit favors display notes fresh figs, blackberry compote, and Toblerone chocolate combined with complex baking spice on the front palate and then lead to a blissful finish that includes black truffles. Savor this magnificent wine now (after decanting) or anytime through 2029.

Toymaker Winery

100 point winemaker Martha McClellan is a gifted Napa legend and the very first winemaker at Harlan, prior to her husband Bob Levy who she still collaborates with at Harlan and their eponymous Levy & McClellan private label. Martha is also the genius who crafts Checkerboard from where she must have found ToyMaker's vineyard, a secret very close to Checkerboard, high atop Diamond Mountain. .
