Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon, blended from grapes from Dr. Crane, as Piedras and the Weitz Vineyard (three great sources in Napa), offers up plenty of blackcurrant fruit, a touch of chocolate, graphite and floral notes. It is dense, has beautiful, sweet, full-bodied opulence and a layered, plush finish like so many 2014s.

• Wine Spectator: Though big in size and rich in flavor, this finds a seam of elegance and finesse, however fleeting, that invites you to enjoy the supple grace of the loamy earth, blackberry, licorice and savory notes. Ends with firm, extracted tannins.

Producer Information

Memento Mori is a limited-production winery that specializes in Cabernet Sauvignon from some of the most internationally acclaimed vineyard sites in Napa Valley. Memento Mori was founded in 2010 by three childhood friends, Adriel Lares, Hayes Drumwright, and Adam Craun, who have committed themselves to crafting sophisticated wines of tremendous balance, honesty and profundity. The name, Memento Mori, is taken from an ancient Latin philosophy that reminds us of our mortality and the inevitability of death. Inspired by the serious health scares, family tragedy and times of trial they have experienced together throughout their friendship, Memento Mori is a shared mantra which the founders interpret as Remember to Live. That ethos is palpable in every bottle. Winemaker Sam Kaplan translates each vineyard site into balanced, terroir-driven wines that tell the story of Napa Valley. This winemaking philosophy culminates in Memento Moris flagship Napa Valley Cabernet. Memento Mori wines seek to capture the essence of each of the famed vineyard sites from which they are sourcedBeckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyard, Beckstoffer Las Piedras Vineyard, Vine Hill Ranch Vineyard, Weitz Vineyard, and Oakville Ranch Vineyard. As the founders see it, life is too short to not make the best wine possible from the best sites available. Memento Mori is shaped by storyand just as the legendary vineyard sources come together to create a great wine, each member of the team brings a unique story to the Memento Mori family. Each person is extraordinary on their own, but together, what results is something greater than the sum of its parts.
