The 2018 Keplinger Oakville Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon is a striking expression of one of Napa Valley’s most dramatic, high-elevation sites. Farmed organically and rooted in volcanic red soils, Oakville Ranch delivers fruit with remarkable intensity, purity, and tension—qualities Helen Keplinger captures with her signature precision and restraint. The wine is powerful yet impeccably balanced, showing layers of dark fruit, crushed rock, violets, and fine, structured tannins that unfold with elegance and length. It’s a beautifully crafted, site-driven Cabernet that reflects both the strength of the 2018 vintage and Helen’s meticulous, terroir-focused approach.
