Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: The 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon opens with a beguiling bouquet of smoke, incense, tobacco, wild flowers and scorched earth. Silky and polished on the palate, the 2009 impresses for the way it balances an overt expression of fruit while retaining considerable underlying structure. I imagine the 2009 will enjoy a broad window of drinkability.

• Wine Spectator: A mouthful of pleasure, with a core of rich, supple blackberry, mocha, currant, exotic spice and light cedar flavors, all deftly proportioned and sharply focused. Most pleasing on the finish, where the flavors sail on.

Producer Information

Kelly Fleming Winery is located in the northern part of Napa Valley, nestled in the narrow Simmons Canyon against the steep hillsides of the Vaca mountain range. From this part of the valley one hardly knows they are in Napa Valley. Rugged hillsides, narrow secluded canyons and forested slopes all form the backdrop for Kelly Fleming’s nearly 12 hillside planted acres of Cabernet Sauvignon. This is prime Cabernet Sauvignon country and nearby neighbors include Eisele Vineyard and Hundred Acre. And in 2021, Four Seasons Resort and Residences Napa Valley, opened in Calistoga, a less than 5 minute drive from Kelly Fleming Winery.Kelly founded the winery in 2002 after she and her then husband Paul purchased the property in 1998. Paul was the co-founder of Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar; the first Fleming’s is still operating in Fashion Island in Newport Beach. He also co-founded P. F. Chang’s China Bistro. Kelly was born and raised in Lake Oswego (a suburb of Portland) in Oregon, later attended college in Manhattan (Cooper Union College) to study fine arts and then eventually began a career in restaurant design.
