Othello Napa Valley 2023 0.75 ltr 15%

0.75 ltr 15%

Othello is the château's third wine, known for its accessibility and lively fruit character, with an elegant structure that reflects the unique terroir of the historic Napanook vineyard.

The Wine Palate 92/100
The 2023 Othello is a blend of 89% Cabernet Sauvignon and 11% Petit Verdot. Deep garnet-purple in color, the wine leaps from the glass with vibrant notes of red berries and fresh blackberries, followed by hints of bay leaves, pencil shavings, and mossy tree bark. The palate is full and bursting with powerful red and blackcurrant flavors, framed by lively acidity and soft tannins, with a long and savory finish. Delicious.

Jeb Dunnuck 90/100
The third wine from this magnificent estate (produced in reasonable quantities), the 2023 Othello, is a fine, Bordeaux-esque presence with juicy notes of black cherry, leather, and tobacco in a medium-bodied, charming, delightfully balanced, and satisfying style. Made from 89% Cabernet Sauvignon and 11% Petit Verdot and aged for 18 months in 20% new French oak, this wine is best appreciated over the next 7 to 8 years. Drink between 2025 and 2033.

James Suckling 94/100
Aromas of plums, red currants, cedar, sandalwood, spices, and stone flow into a medium body with a firm fruit core and notes of dried orange and pure fruit in the finish. Juicy, savory, and well-structured finish.
