Oakville is a world-famous wine growing region located in the heart of the Napa Valley. It gained its name from the dense groves of dark green valley oaks that once covered the area.

The excellent publicity of Oakville’s wines can in part be attributed to the unique quality of its soils and enviable climate. This perfect climate, not too hot (in the summer) or cold (in winter), is what helps Cabernet Sauvignon from Oakville display the essential qualities of this varietal – complex wines with great structure, balance, and tannins that allow these wines to age for many years.

Today, the Oakville appellation is one of the premier wine growing regions in the world; even at only 2 acres wide, it’s a powerhouse. Some of the most legendary wines are produced here; thanks in part to the family-owned vineyards tended by meticulous growers and visionary winemakers.

Aged in French Oak Barrels, the 2004 Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon from the Napa Valley is ready to enjoy now, but will age beautifully for the next 10 – 15 years.

Courtesan has a bright, brambly raspberry nose and hits the palate with phenomenal concentration that brilliantly manages to be neither heavy nor overbearing; ripe cassis and dark cherry abound with hints of cocoa. The finish is supple and round with good length and exquisitely forged tannins. This is a wine with supreme definition and purity that will seduce the palate like a beautiful courtesan.
