Don Sebastiani, Sr. learned about St. Thomas Aquinas in his studies and travels, and was inspired by the way that he brought together two dissident ideas, using scientific method to try to prove the existence of a “higher being.” In much the same way, Don knew it was possible to bring together the idea of a classic, excellent Napa Valley wine with affordability and accessibility that most Napa wines lack. Wine should be a luxury that we can all afford, and the famed Napa Valley is no exception.
From the winemaker – “This wine opens with a fragrant, fruit forward bouquet of classic black cherry and boysenberry aromas with faint hints of dill from its time spent on American oak. This elegant wine leads with blackberry and black currant flavors complemented by notes of dark chocolate, cassis and warm baking spice. This beautifully balanced wine is medium to full body with round supple tannins. It’s a deliciously smooth Cabernet Sauvignon in the classic Napa Valley tradition.”
