Profile & Story
Phifer Pavitt began with Date Night. After marrying in 1998, Suzanne and Shane Pavitt created a weekly tradition: once a week, typically over a bottle of wine or bourbon, they would voice their hopes, fears, wants and wishes. Every big decision since has been made on Date Night - including the decision to buy a 23-acre plot in Calistoga, at the northern end of Napa Valley. They planted the vineyards by hand, rooted themselves in a farming community and started a family. The estate farms with sustainability as its compass and holds Napa Green Certification, with an Eco Barn, butterfly garden and regenerative farming practices. DATE NIGHT Cabernet Sauvignon is the estate's flagship bottling, grown in Calistoga, Napa Valley and released in 750ml.
Tasting Notes
An opulent and deeply expressive vintage with extraordinary depth, texture, and finesse. Aromatics of black raspberry, cassis, dark cocoa, and crushed roses unfold alongside elegant notes of cigar wrapper, baking spice, and rich caramel. The palate is lavishly layered with ripe blackberry, black cherry liqueur, espresso, and decadent dark chocolate, supported by accents of caramelized hazelnut and toasted vanilla. The finish is long and resonant, carried by finely sculpted tannins and a silky, enveloping mouthfeel that speaks to both power and refinement.
