Relic was born in 2001 with the mission to make world-class wines that have ultimate complexity, aromatics, nuance and personality from some of the best sites in Napa Valley and the Sonoma Coast.
The Moulds Vineyard is the jewel of Oak Knoll, perched on a “bench” above the valley floor. Here the alluvial rock has collected over the millennia giving the sub-soil great drainage that translates into excellent wine. The vineyard is tended with the utmost care. In 2019, the vines enjoyed a fantastic vintage, with a long, steady growing season and enough warmth to bring this Cabernet into top form. The color has a strikingly deep purple core, hinting at the richness to come. The aromatics are brooding and exotic with blackberry purée, black cherry, dark chocolate, anise, toasted bread, dark vanilla and sage. On the palate, one would not guess this is a cooler spot in the valley, as the wine displays huge layers of dense, dark, rich flavors that carry through to a long, palate-staining finish.
