Tether is the collaborative vision of acclaimed winemakers Anna Monticelli and Kimberly Jones, created to showcase the elegance and purity of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon at exceptional value. Although both work on prestigious winemaking projects around the world, they remain firmly connected to Napa Valley—the inspiration behind the name Tether and its philosophy: Be bold. Take risks. Always stay connected. Sourcing fruit from many of Napa's finest sub-appellations, including Howell Mountain, Atlas Peak, St Helena and Yountville, Tether combines mountain intensity with valley-floor finesse. Guided by meticulous vineyard selection, sustainable farming and restrained French oak maturation, the wines offer remarkable depth, balance and ageing potential while remaining beautifully approachable in their youth.
The 2019 Tether Cabernet Sauvignon bursts from the glass with abundant aromas of black currant liqueur, huckleberry compote and blueberry pie. The gorgeous dark fruitcore is complemented by layers of volcanic rock, spring flowers, mocha, spice and well-integrated French oak. The wine possesses a rich texture that coats the palate in velvety tannins, sweet ripe fruit and elegant toasty oak. This wine showcases dazzling finesse and leaves you with an enduring finish.
