2023
Restoration Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon
The 2023 Restoration Cabernet Sauvignon opens with aromas of dark cassis, graphite, and cedar. The palate is structured and layered, showing black cherry, subtle pepper, and fine-grained tannins supported by balanced acidity. Built for aging, the wine reflects both the power and restraint of Snell Valley, finishing long and focused.
Our Restoration Reserve is handcrafted by father and son winemakers at Leaf & Vine (Tim and Rick Keith) using grapes from our northernmost hillside blocks — the finest expression of our unique terroir. This flagship wine honors a 20-year restoration of our 200-acre estate, transforming it into a thriving vineyard and sanctuary for family, friends, and nature.
We hope each glass restores, uplifts, and connects you to what truly endures.
- Dan and Chris Edmonds-Waters
Restoration is the purest expression of Edmonds Estates—a reserve Cabernet Sauvignon drawn from the finest blocks of our vineyard in Napa Valley’s Snell Valley.
Surrounded entirely by protected lands and nourished by natural springs and wells, the vineyard yields fruit of uncommon depth, balance, and structure. Restoration is designed to age gracefully while expressing the singular character of this rare valley.
Aged for almost three years in French oak barrels, this wine is unfiltered and was natively fermented. This careful process uses the yeast naturally present on the grapes skins and in oak barrels. This gives our Restoration Reserve unique flavors, increased complexity and a stronger sense of place.
This reserve was crafted in limited quantities in Napa California.
