Celebrating 90 Years
As a nod to the past 90 years of robust and elegant wines, Louis M. Martini is offering an exclusive vertical selection of choice vintages. This 90th Anniversary Lot No. 1 Vertical Collection is a celebration of the standout blocks, showcasing the 2013, 2014, and 2018 Lot No. 1 Cabernet Sauvignons.
You don’t nurture a winery for nearly a century without making exceptional wines. Louis M. Martini Winery has many, but there are those that epitomize its extraordinary craft. The Lot No. 1 Cabernet Sauvignon is a product of the winery’s efforts, years of experience and skill, and the peak of its portfolio.
Polished and elegant, the Lot No. 1 Cabernet Sauvignon is a flagship Napa Valley wine, full-bodied and balanced. It represents the varietal at its most refined, and in 2017, the 2013 Lot No. 1 Cabernet Sauvignon was awarded a perfect 100-point score by Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate.
The Lot No. 1 highlights the depth and complexity of the Cabernet Sauvignon. Each wine in the vertical collection has its own strengths and variations, offering the narrative of their respective growing seasons through full-bodied and nuanced palates. The 2013 boasts aromas of dark chocolate and berry, leading into notes of blackberry and blueberry liquor. The 2014, the result of a dry and warm growing season, offers a blackberry jam and crème brûlée aroma and a palate of decadent cherry, black currant, and rich caramel. Lastly, the 2018 Lot No. 1 Cabernet Sauvignon’s wild blackberry and cocoa nose give way to a rich palate of shaved chocolate and reduced blackberry compote, topped off with a complex hint of cinnamon that exemplifies the fruit’s mountainside characteristics.
