A Pritchard Hill Cabernet shaped by Philippe Melka
Encosta (beginning in Portuguese) is their entry-level offering and it is anything but. This pure, perfumed, medium to full-bodied effort has lifted aromatics of ripe black fruits, flowers, cedary oak, and a touch of dark chocolate. It has ripe, polished tannins, and terrific overall balance. A fantastic Pritchard Hill Cabernet that punches way above its weight.

Gandona Encosta Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 begins high above Lake Hennessey, where the estate's Pritchard Hill vineyards climb steep slopes in three distinct blocks. Each block brings its own character to the blend, shaped by the site's elevation and rugged terrain.

Bordeaux-born winemaker Philippe Melka guides those differences with a precise hand, drawing the hillside fruit into a Cabernet rooted in its Napa Valley home. Moderate temperatures and minimal rainfall in 2021 gave the grapes time to reach maturity slowly, building concentration and structure along the way.

Blackberry, blackcurrant, blueberry, and black cherry unfold alongside graphite, cedar, tobacco, cocoa, and baking spice. Full-bodied and layered, the wine is framed by polished tannins, balanced acidity, and a long finish.

94pts from the International Wine Report “The 2021 Encosta Cabernet Sauvignon offers inviting aromas of ripe cherries, black cherries, spices, wild sage, fresh violets, cigar box and hints of gravel that all emerge from the glass. On the palate, this possesses a full body that is well-structured with big muscular tannins that are firm and supportive. It continues to impress with its outstanding depth and long finish. Overall, this is a simply fantastic wine which will benefit from some short term cellaring and continue to flourish over the next two decades. Drink 2026-2039.”
