Full-bodied and oaked, dry at 13.7% alcohol, with a perfumed nose and freshness keeping it balanced.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCain Cuvée NV18 is a non-vintage Napa Valley red blend of the 2017 and 2018 vintages. The 2018 vintage is dominant, contributing fullness, richness, and completeness, while the 2017 component contributes perfume, elegance, and freshness. Cain describes blending as a way to achieve aromatic complexity, palate balance, lightness, and freshness. The release was the last Cain Cuvée bottled before the 2020 Glass Fire.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWorth knowing\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe non-vintage label is a choice, and the number is the tell: NV18 marks 2018, the blend's dominant and latest vintage, with 2017 alongside. That 2017 was mostly Merlot, picked before the Napa wildfires — and NV18 turned out to be the last Cuvée bottled before the 2020 Glass Fire.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBlend\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMerlot 41%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCabernet Sauvignon 34%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCabernet Franc 25%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Cain","offers":[{"title":"Bottle 750 mL","offer_id":48975724282039,"sku":"WICAICUNNV18-B750","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0728\/4486\/9815\/files\/front_083425a0-c00b-4cc6-a06b-636996950479.png?v=1788238615","url":"https:\/\/preface.wine\/products\/cain-cuvee-nv18","provider":"Preface Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
