Fisticuffs 2009 Napa Cabernet

Fisticuffs’ vision is to produce the highest quality wine while keeping its pricing well managed - in essence, to over deliver. To fulfill this objective, winemaker Rob Lawson crafted Fisticuffs using his years of experience making many of Napa Valley’s cult Cabernets at Napa Wine Company, such as: Ghostblock, Mirror, Pahlmeyer and Kapcsandy. In the creation of this blend, Rob has applied the rigorous standards associated with the best Cabernets of Napa Valley, while sourcing fruit and blending components from some of Napa Valley’s top vineyards.

Fisticuffs elicits classic Napa Cabernet characteristics. It has a dark ruby color with tantalizing aromas of dark chocolate, cinnamon, espresso beans and black cherries, leading to a concentrated palate of blackberry, black raspberry and cassis. The tannins are fine grained and velvety, providing a full bodied wine with a lingering finish of baking spices, vanilla and black cherry. 

Well balanced and delicious, this Cabernet is perfect for your winter beef stew or your summer barbeque. It can age over the next 10 years, but why wait? 

Fistticuffs has placed in the Top 100 Wines San Francisco Chronicle competition.
