Barnett Vineyards 'Rattlesnake' Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 2019
Vintage Character
2019 Barnett Rattlesnake Cabernet Sauvignon comes from the Spring Mountain District AVA in Napa Valley, an estate icon bottling from Barnett Vineyards. The 2019 vintage is widely regarded as excellent in Napa Valley, with a long, even growing season and well-timed harvest conditions that helped preserve freshness while allowing Cabernet Sauvignon to achieve full phenolic ripeness. Sourced from Barnett’s high-elevation Rattlesnake Hill on Spring Mountain, the wine reflects a rugged mountain setting of rocky, low-vigor soils and cooling altitude, factors that typically translate into concentration, structure, and a distinctly mineral, dark-fruited profile.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing
Wine Advocate awarded the 2019 vintage 94 points, underscoring the wine’s pedigree and cellar-worthy balance. The nose is layered with black cherry, mountain blueberry, dark plum and violet, followed by notes of cedar, espresso, dark chocolate and a hint of graphite. On the palate it is full-bodied and firmly built, with high but polished tannins, medium-high acidity, and a dense core of cassis and blackberry framed by toasted French oak; the finish is long, savory, and stony. It pairs beautifully with grilled ribeye, rosemary-crusted lamb, or porcini risotto.
Winery Background
Barnett Vineyards was founded in 1983 by Hal and Fiona Barnett and quickly became one of Spring Mountain’s benchmark mountain estates, known for wines that combine Napa depth with elevated-site precision. The estate sits near the top of the mountain, where steep slopes and low yields shape the character of its fruit, and longtime winemaker David Tate has built a reputation for refining that natural intensity into wines of elegance and longevity. Hand-harvested fruit, careful lot selection, and élevage in French oak are central to the approach, while the Rattlesnake bottling stands out as a vivid expression of Barnett’s highest, most dramatic vineyard terrain.
