Home to the Mira Winery & Hospitality House as well as a collection of exceptional vineyards, the Yountville AVA is representative of the Napa Valley’s journey from quiet agricultural community into one of the world’s premiere food and wine destinations.
The inaugural release of our Cabernet Sauvignon Yountville marked two significant occasions in the history of Mira – our 10th harvest and the first harvest in our new Winery – and demonstrated the tremendous potential for future vintages of this wine.

Tasting Notes
Intense fresh aromatics of sweet and dried
fruit are balanced by notes of black pepper and
cigar box. On the palate the wine shows its bold
structure and bracing acidity, a window into the
tremendous potential for this wine to evolve as
it ages.
Vintage Notes
2016 saw another nearly perfect vintage in the
Napa Valley. Winter precipitation afforded
relief from drought concerns but a very nice
Spring and mild Summer brought slightly less
than average yields, smaller clusters and more
concentration in the fruit. Mid October brought
substantial rains to the region, the first in quite
some years, however we were fortunate to
already have all of our grapes in.
Winemaker's Notes
Grown on the Yountville bench, bordering the
Oakville AVA on the west side of the valley, this
vineyard is in an ideal location to achieve the
perfect combination of ripeness in Cabernet
Sauvignon. This classic Napa Valley Cabernet
is coaxed from the grapes through hand
harvesting and gentle processing in the winery.
The fermentation period is characterized by hot
peak temperatures in the must and a thorough
extraction campaign to get every last drop of flavor.
The wine is non fined and non filtered.
Other Notes
The first vintage of the Mira Cabernet Sauvignon
Yountville demonstrates everything we love
about the Yountville AVA and why we are so
excited for the future of our own estate vineyards
at the Mira Winery.
