Product Notes

Cain Vineyard & Winery Five is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and other Bordeaux varieties sourced from Cain's estate vineyards in the Napa Valley's Spring Mountain District. This full-bodied red wine boasts rich flavors of black currant, blackberry, and dark chocolate with notes of oak and tobacco. The nose is filled with aromas of dark fruit, spice, and cedar. The tannins are firm and chewy, providing structure and aging potential. Cain Vineyard & Winery is committed to sustainable and biodynamic farming practices, and their wines are made with minimal intervention to showcase the unique characteristics of the terroir. Cain Five is a luxurious and complex wine that will pair well with bold flavors and hearty dishes.

Tasting Notes

In 2015 the result is a generous, dense, focused wine, with the sun-drenched herbal and savory notes of our wild mountain Cain Vineyard, and satisfying and mouth-filling on the palate. The 2015 Cain Five drinks beautifully today, and will continue to do so for twenty years.

About the Winery

Cain Vineyard & Winery

The history of Cain Vineyard & Winery goes back to 1980 when Joyce Cain and Jerry Cain established the winery. The two brothers bought a plot of 550 acres located on Spring Mountain. Before the purchase, the land got utilised for ranching in the early years of the 1870s. Nevertheless, it carried prime soil with an exceptional standard or quality that was beneficial for the growth and maturation of the planted grapevines. 

After purchasing the land, Joyce Cain and Jerry Cain cleaned and set up the plot. They made it ready for planting grapevines. They cultivated the vineyards using their five primary grape varieties from Bordeaux. They consisted of Merlot, Malbec, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and Cabernet Sauvignon. The winery derived the inspiration for the Cain Five, its flagship wines, from these five collections of grapes. 

Cain Vineyard & Winery took about two years to complete the construction of the winery and its cellars. They produced and released their first vintage wine in 1985. The following year, Nancy Meadlock and Jim Meadlock of the Meadlock family joined the winery to help in further development and outreach of Cain Vineyard & Winery. In 1991, they gained the ownership rights of the estate. 

The five distinctive vineyards of Cain Vineyard & Winery remain at an elevation ranging from 1400 to 2100 feet. This altitude provides a beneficial variation in the temperature between night and day, allowing a significant difference between the two. It permits the grapes to mature slowly to acquire a juicy texture with rich and elegant character, aroma, and flavour. 

Additionally, the other climatic factors prove advantageous to the growth of the planted grapevines. These include an appropriate amount of rainfall, sunlight exposure, and wind currents. They also ensure that the produced wines are of the highest standard and quality.
