Our Cain Cuvée is a Red to drink Right Now—something with a distinct personality and a touch of class. Our goal is drinkability, versatility, complexity, and satisfaction. If you’ve known Cain you’ll know that for decades now, that rather than “making” copycat wines of the Napa Valley, we’ve always sought to allow our grapes to express themselves, not to force the issue through wine-making, but to follow the wine where it wants to go. Then we compose harmonious blends that best express the vineyards and the vintages.

In the case of our Cain Cuvée, we’re looking for lightness and a zesty mouthwatering vibrancy to accompany a wide range of dishes. However, some years are lighter and some years are fuller…this one is fuller. This one will still pair with grilled seafood, but it’s not a delicate wine. Notes of soft sweet plums, roasted meats…bit of forest floor and savory mushroom...sweet, warm, full...satisfying grip. A lot of wine. Slips right down. Lovely aftertaste.

Cain Cuvée is the most eclectic of our blends because it is not only a blend of multiple varieties, but also of two vintages. Our Cain Cuvée is drawn mainly from different vineyards and it is intended to be an expression of lightness and to leave your palate refreshed. We’re also looking for complexity on the nose and balance on the palate. To achieve all of this, blending is a surprisingly useful and powerful method.
