2017 DRM Winery Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley - 3 Bottles
This magnificent Cabernet Sauvignon is a superb blend of three vineyards creating a quality wine with a bold, rich Bordeaux style. Daniel Manies, founder and winemaker, was the first Master Cellarman at Opus One, and now has his own winery.

The 2017 DRM has a deep rich color with berry aromas, bold tannins and layers of ripe currant and cherry that engulf your mouth to prepare for a mighty and tannic finish. It is smooth on the entry with lingering tannins on the finish. This is a more reserved style of Napa cab and people who love Bordeaux will appreciate this wine.

Owner/Winemaker
Daniel Ray Manies has an extraordinary winemaking resume. After 10 years working in the cellars at Robert Mondavi alongside Tim Mondavi, in 1991 he became the first Master Cellarman for Opus One, hands-on at the start of the world-renowned iconic wine. A decade later, he took his skills to Bordeaux’s world-famous Baron Philippe de Rothschild, one of Opus One’s parent wineries, and further enriched his winemaking knowledge.

After his experience in Bordeaux, Daniel returned to Napa, first launching Chateau Manzanita Winery and finally DRM Winery, the culmination of 40 years of winemaking experience in two of the world’s premier wine regions– Napa and Bordeaux. He has devoted his entire life to the pursuit of making great wines, and his passion and sincere love for the work eventually led him to follow his intuition and create his own signature wines.

If anyone knows Cabernet Sauvignon, it's Daniel. He demands quality fruit for his wines and ensures he gets it from well-attended vineyards cared for under the best of conditions. Extremely selective in choosing Cabernet grapes, he sources from small, private, Napa vineyard owners who personally give their vines the loving care and attention that large commercial vineyard growers cannot afford.
