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. The Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon is the estate's top Cabernet bottling, offered only as a three-bottle set (3x750ml) presented in a branded wood box.
Tasting Notes
A study in strength and sophistication - commanding, expressive, yet effortlessly graceful. Aromas of ripe black plum, roasted hazelnut, worn saddle leather, and cracked cocoa invite you in, accented by subtle hints of honeyed oak and spiced tobacco leaf. The palate flows with supple richness, framed by fine-grained tannins that feel both generous and composed. A lingering finish unfolds with layers of dark chocolate, molasses, and a gentle echo of vanilla bean, leaving a warm, enduring impression of balance and depth.
