A hearty blend of seven varieties with full ripeness and big flavors from the stellar 2014 weather. The aromatics show layers of fruit; berry, cherry, plum, black raspberry, and pomegranate with smoky, spicy, meaty tones as well, complimented by sweet caramel, vanilla, toasty French oak. It’s a mouth coating yet silky structural wine with flavors that mirror the aromas. This is a big lush red that’s fun and delicious while also being quite versatile and age worthy to boot. Drink up all ye pirates!

2013 La Sirena Cabernet Sauvignon
2013 La Sirena Cabernet Sauvignon is available now!
Cabernet Sauvignon is my favorite varietal to make, and is what I’m best known for. I love working with Cab because it is Napa Valley’s most sought-after, highly regarded varietal, and the most challenging to do well consistently. It gives a sense of accomplishment when it turns out to be delicious. Plus, I like that all that work can last for many years in the cellar and continue to be enjoyed. My La Sirena Cab reflects my devotion to balance, elegance, winemaking tradition and classic varietal styling.
The 2013 vintage, like that of 2012, was basically a perfect growing season, and may prove to be even better than the 2012. Slightly smaller crop for 2013 led to a bit more concentrated wines and may be even more ageworthy if well balanced and properly made. Wine critics lauded the vintage, and it has been an anticipated release in the years since then. We are proud to offer you our 2013 La Sirena Cabernet Sauvignon.
2013 La Sirena Cabernet Sauvignon Tasting Notes: (Tasted 10/21/16 by HPB)
Deep deep dark blackberry in color with open aromas of ripe berries and all the black fruits, currants, plums, and blackberries. Very pure and concentrated with lovely french oak nuances and layers. Across the palate this is about as good as it gets. Delicious, expressive, explosive yet refined. Perfect balance and ripeness. It has the right amount of chewy textural tannins in the mid palate with amazing length. This is a blockbuster vintage and a great example of Cab Sauv at its best. Impressive right out of the shoot, but will prove to be quite age worthy as well. I’m proud of this wine and hope you love it too!
2015 La Sirena Moscato Azul
Now available: a new vintage of our fan-favorite La Sirena Moscato Azul (dry Muscat Canelli). In its signature blue bottle, this refreshing white wine is perfect for the early Autumn heat.
The only white wine from La Sirena, this Moscato is an unusual, delicious dry (not sweet) expression of Muscat Canelli. In its signature blue bottle, Moscato Azul has become a fan favorite for its drinkability, perfumey aroma, crisp acidity, and ability to pair well with many different dishes. It’s especially perfect during the spring and summer time on warm days.

NEW RELEASE – 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon
The highly touted 2012 vintage produced some incredible wines of perfect ripeness, depth, harmony, and age ability. Our Cab Sauv is a gorgeous deep blackberry jam color with enticing pure clean aromas of ripe Cabernet Sauvignon fruit. The lush open aromas are of black cherry, dark fruits, blackberry, and dark plums layered with sweet and spicy toasty French oak, cedar and mocha. Explosive flavors wow the palate with matching flavors and aromas. This is a big lush mouthful of Cab with medium silky tannins and a symphony of balance. Chewy mid palate texture and long flavors that persist are fantastic.
