We warmly welcome you to the release of the 2023 vintage of Cardinale Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, awarded 99 points by both Jeb Dunnuck and Jonathan Cristaldi.

When Cardinale was founded, the vision was clear: to produce a singular Cabernet Sauvignon sourced from Napa Valley's highest-quality vineyards. Today, multi-appellation blends from Napa Valley remain exceptionally rare. By bringing together fruit from valley floor, hillside, and mountain vineyards, Winemaker Christopher Carpenter crafts a wine that is greater than the sum of its parts, inviting you to experience the breadth, complexity, and character of Napa Valley in every glass.

By acquiring the 2023 Cardinale Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, you will become an active allocation member and receive access to future releases. This offering closes November 17, 2026, or sooner if allocations sell out.

"When traveling around the world’s various wine regions, you realize that each place has something distinct about it—a unique mix of flavors, textures, and energy that comes through in the wine. As we’ve set our flag in Napa, we’ve come to believe that what gives us a leg up over so many of these world regions is the incredible diversity of our small geographic area.

Cardinale takes advantage of that diversity by combining different sub-appellations to create a wine that is truly the definition of “a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts.” The 2023 is an example of that at the highest level. Eight different sub-appellations weave together to present cassis, graphite, rose petal, pain de grille aromatics with dark and red fruit, Asian spice, great texture, and length on the palate. This is a wine that we hope will allow you to experience all of Napa Valley with each sip."
