James SucklingThe winery’s flagship, most widely distributed cabernet sauvignon is 90% varietal, with a mix of the four other red Bordeaux varieties making up the rest. Solidly structured and full-bodied, with dark fruit, moderate to full tannins and some bolstering acidity. Showing some good restraint in its black cherries, blackberries and hints of black olives.

DecanterA compact, tightly knit, chewy Cabernet Sauvignon with expressive blackberry, black cherry and graphite notes laced with dried wild herbs and rose petal nuances. The medium to full-bodied finish reveals a host of dried herbs and earth under a canopy of cedarwood spices. 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Petit Verdot, 3% Merlot, 1% Malbec, 1% Cabernet Franc aged 16 months in 25% predominantly new French oak. In 2023, as Louis M. Martini winery celebrated its 90th anniversary, Mark Williams entered his third harvest as a winemaker (just the fifth since the winery's founding). Williams was promoted to the role after working with Michael Eddy since 2016. Martini was one of the first bonded wineries in America to open post-prohibition.
Grape Variety
Cabernet Sauvignon
A noble variety bestowed with both power and concentration, Cabernet Sauvignon enjoys success all over the globe, its best examples showing potential to age beautifully for decades. Cabernet Sauvignon flourishes in Bordeaux's Medoc where it is often blended with Merlot and smaller amounts of some combination of Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Petit Verdot. In the Napa Valley, ‘Cab’ is responsible for some of the world’s most prestigious, age-worthy and sought-after “cult” wines. Somm Secret—DNA profiling in 1997 revealed that Cabernet Sauvignon was born from a spontaneous crossing of Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc in 17th century southwest France.
