The Messenger Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley
True to the heart and style of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine is rich and lush, with loads of delicious, dark fruit and a touch of French Oak spice. The texture is smooth, round and feels fresh. This wine is a joy to drink while young, juicy and vibrant but will also develop lovely complex characters over the next decade in the bottle.
Enjoy our wine for what it is, an expression of the land that grew it and the hands that have touched it.
Nose: Expect a rich and complex bouquet. Notes of blackberries, black currants, plums, and dark cherries. Cedar, vanilla, and spice on the backdrop provide a rich, complex wine.
Palate: Full-bodied with concentrated flavors of dark fruit. Blackberries, black currants, and cassis. Additional notes of mocha, tobacco, and earthy undertones. The tannins are well-integrated, providing structure and a velvety texture.
Finish: Long and lingering with flavors of dark fruit and a touch of oak spice.
Pairings
Steak: ribeye steak, New York strip
Lamb: Chops, Grilled lamb burgers
Braised short ribs
Beef bourguignon
Cheese: Aged cheddar, Gruyere
Winemakers
It started right out of college with an opportunity to work for a craft brewer in Western Australia. Showing up in Australia with a degree from the University of California, a good work ethic and a "can do" spirit was the perfect combination of right place-right time. After three years down under, Kat moved back to the US and her husband, Australian Rob McDonald soon followed.
They founded Old Bridge Cellars and began importing the legendary Australian wines they both loved...d'Arenberg, Jasper Hill, Yarra Yering, Leeuwin Estate & Cullen to name a few. Along the way, Kat took a break and went to law school, they planted vineyards in both Australia and the Napa Valley and began making their own wines including the eponymous named Mak.
In 2005, Kat and Rob founded Art+Farm Wine in Napa. Art+Farm is home to the girls in the vineyard, The Messenger, 11*14, Circadia, Pure Ugly and St Mayhem, their game changing Craft Wine Coolers.
Kat and Rob live in Napa with their two children, an odd looking creature that is supposed to be a dog and an adopted cat. Kat is a little obsessed with her heritage breed chickens and the eggs they lay. Rob is obsessed with compost and growing the perfect tomato. Both are huge proponents of dry farming and see the changing climate as the single biggest factor in the future of agriculture.
