Pure Napa Valley magic as well as a perfect wine, the 2019 Hexameter reveals a deep purple hue along with an incredibly complex bouquet of black raspberries, spring flowers, cassis, vanilla, and tobacco. This carries to a layered, full-bodied red with ultra-fine tannins, perfect balance, a deep, opulent mouthfeel, and an incredible finish. This is one of those wines where nothing is out of place, and while it already delivers pleasure today, it’s going to evolve for 20-25 years. The blend is 55% Cabernet Franc, 42% Cabernet Sauvignon, and the balance Merlot and Petit Verdot. Hats off to the team at Ovid for this incredible wine.

Country United States

Of all the New World wine countries, perhaps the one which has demonstrated the most flair for producing high quality wines - using a combination of traditional and forward-thinking contemporary methods - has been the United States of America. For the past couple of centuries, the United States has set about transforming much of its suitable land into vast vineyards, capable of supporting a wide variety of world-class grape varietals which thrive on both the Atlantic and the Pacific coastlines. Of course, we immediately think of sun-drenched California in regards to American wines, with its enormous vineyards responsible for the New World's finest examples of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot based wines, but many other states have taken to viticulture in a big way, with impressive results. Oregon, Washington State and New York have all developed sophisticated and technologically advanced wine cultures of their own, and the output of U.S wineries is increasing each year as more and more people are converted to their produce.

Region California

California as a wine producing region has grown in size and importance considerably over the past couple of centuries, and today is the proud producer of more than ninety percent of the United States' wines. Indeed, if California was a country, it would be the fourth largest producer of wine in the world, with a vast range of vineyards covering almost half a million acres. The secret to California's success as a wine region has a lot to do with the high quality of its soils, and the fact that it has an extensive Pacific coastline which perfectly tempers the blazing sunshine it experiences all year round. The winds coming off the ocean cool the vines, and the natural valleys and mountainsides which make up most of the state's wine regions make for ideal areas in which to cultivate a variety of high quality grapes.

Appellation Napa Valley

When it comes to New World wines, and especially wines from the United States of America, Napa Valley is something of a standard bearer. Over its relatively short history, it has managed to transform itself from being a fairly insignificant region, to becoming one of the most important and highly regarding wine locations on earth. With an ideal climate for viticulture, blazing sunshine and a low level of rainfall, this valley is shielded on many sides by mountain ranges which help it maintain a consistent level of heat, light and moisture throughout the year. Today, Napa Valley is a home of innovation and quality, with dozens of grape varietals thriving in the fertile soils. However, the main varietals grown there have always been Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Merlot and Zinfandel, and the wines they produce are constantly lauded by critics and competitions across the globe.

A very pure, silky, deep and delicious red based on cabernet franc grapes. This wraps a velvety texture of fine-grained tannins around dark blueberry, blackcurrant, dark chocolate, sage and savory flavors. Refined, elegant and complete. Drink now or hold.

The 2019 Hexameter is a powerful, brooding wine that is going to need at least a handful of years to come together. The aromatics, usually so expressive here, are quite hushed. Instead, what stands out is the wine huge core of fruit and structure. The 2019 is quite a bit more reticent than it was from barrel, but Cabernet Franc based wines often shut down hard after bottling. That seems to be the case here. There is certainly a ton to look forward to.

Wine Advocate

Boasting bold, assertive aromas of red cherries and black tea, plus hints of black olives and mocha, the Cabernet Franc-based 2019 Hexameter—56% Cabernet Franc, 43% Cabernet Sauvignon, 1% Merlot—is medium to full-bodied and rather open-knit in feel. The texture is more coarse velvet than plush, but there's ample complexity and length, plus a decade or more of cellaring potential.

Wine Spectator

Delivers dark plum and blackberry fruit with a caressing edge, despite showing some depth and weight, while smoldering cast iron, tobacco and roasted alder hints peek through and emerge steadily through the finish. Shows the muscular shoulders of Cab Franc throughout. Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Best from 2023 through 2036. 640 cases made.
