Tasting Notes

This exceptional vintage from the renowned Napa Valley showcases the best of Cabernet Sauvignon, thanks to the optimal conditions under which the grapes were harvested. Meticulously crafted by acclaimed winemaker David Ramey, this wine embodies the art of winemaking, with meticulous attention to detail throughout the process. The result is a wine of unparalleled taste and complexity, with layers of dark fruits, spices, tobacco, and oak, all harmoniously balanced. Its velvety texture, well-integrated tannins, and lingering finish create an elegant and memorable drinking experience.

Critic Scores

Medium to deep ruby, the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Annum is made up of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Cabernet Franc and 3% Malbec. The nose features licorice, dried leaves, cedar, vanilla pod and iron aromas with mint chocolate, cumin, cardamom, coffee bean and a core of red and black fruits—so many layers and exotic spice notes! Medium to full-bodied, it explodes with luscious fruits, chocolate and spice accents, framed by very ripe, grainy tannins and great freshness and finishing long and layered. Yes!

This beautiful wine includes 9% Cabernet Franc that gives a lift of floral violet and grainy cedar. Classic all around in its etchings of coconut shavings, graphite, spice and dust, the fruit is additionally savory in bright red currant and a crunch of cassis, with an underpinning of soft, succulent blackberry.

The flagship is the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Annum, another wine that plays in the more elegant, pretty end of the spectrum. Notes of cassis, kirsch, cedary spice, and earth all flow to a medium to full-bodied, nicely concentrated, balanced Cabernet that has polished tannins, no hard edges, and a great finish.

A cab with tension and brightness plus lots of rose petal, blueberry, currant and lavender character. Full body, firm tannins and a fresh finish. Drink and enjoy on release or hold for a few years as it comes more together

Vinification & Cultivation

Crafted only for our premium wines

Vineyard Cultivation

Ramey Wine Cellars was founded in 1996 by David and Carla Ramey, with David, a Bordeaux- and California-trained winemaker, building a reputation for classically styled, balanced wines. Annum, Latin for 'year', is Ramey's Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, a multi-site blend assembled from fruit across the valley rather than a single vineyard. Sourcing spans hillside and bench sites on the gravelly, volcanic and alluvial soils typical of Napa, chosen for freshness and structure. The 2015 vintage was warm and among the earliest and smallest in recent Napa memory, following drought and poor flowering; low yields of small berries gave concentrated, well-defined fruit that suited Ramey's restrained house style.

Vinification

The 2015 Annum was blended to 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Cabernet Franc and 3% Malbec. In keeping with Ramey's traditional approach, the reds are fermented and undergo full malolactic conversion in barrel, then matured in French oak for extended ageing to knit tannin and build cedar-and-spice complexity. Ramey favours a gentle, non-interventionist regime aimed at texture and finesse rather than power. Critics highlighted polished tannins, layered exotic-spice notes and freshness, placing the wine at the more elegant end of the Napa Cabernet spectrum.
