This Napa Cab Has It All

You won’t find a greater collectible value in Napa Valley than the 2015 Kelly Fleming Cabernet.

Antonio Galloni called this gorgeous wine—which was crafted by Marcassin alum Rebecca George and 2017 SF Chronicle Winemaker of the Year Francoise Peschon (Vine Hill Ranch) —“one of the finest wines of the vintage,” a “total stunner.” With a 97-point rating, it stands alongside $500+ wines like Lokoya, Abreu, BOND, and Colgin. At a sliver of the price.

Take a look at the estate and the team behind this wine, and there’s no mystery about why it stands with Napa Valley’s best. Winemaker Rebecca George works with Françoise Peschon (whose 2015 Vine Hill Ranch Cabernet, we should mention, also scored 97). The vineyards are tended by Mike Wolf, who has laid hands on the most precious vines in Napa Valley—and knew the moment he saw it that the Fleming site would make a unique Cabernet. 

Though the property is a sprawling 300 acres, the Kelly Fleming vineyard is tiny: just 12 acres. The vines, now a quarter-century old, bask in the up-valley heat until the temperature drops precipitously at night—the diurnal swing can be as much as 50 degrees. The result is wine of superb ripeness, structure, elegance, and balance. 

Kelly Fleming is not a huge operation: They make just three wines, totaling less than 2,000 cases. This 2015 Cabernet hails from the fourth vintage in Napa Valley’s long drought spell. It was aged in 75% new French oak (and 25% neutral) for 20 months, before being bottled in June of 2017. Now it’s prepared to take its place alongside the finest California Cabernets in your cellar.
