ZD Wines Abacus Experience Tour & Tasting for Six
Located in Rutherford's premium Cabernet Sauvignon growing region, ZD remains committed to producing world-class wines, farming organically and providing first-class hospitality to guests, all while supporting many charitable efforts locally and throughout the country.
Abacus, ZD Wines' legendary Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, is a multi-vintage blend that artfully expresses the depth and complexity of a well-aged wine, infused with a touch of forward fruit and the intensity of a younger wine. It is defined by ZD Wines' Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, which has been produced every year since 1992. The wine is aged for three years in the barrel, which allows access to the young reserve wines as a blending component to Abacus. Hence, there is always a component of young, fruit forward wine available to infuse into the ever-developing Abacus solera. The current bottling of Abacus XXIII is a masterful blend of 29 vintages of ZD's Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (1992-2020).
For your exclusive Abacus experience at ZD, you and five guests will be guided through the cellar to tour and sample maturing wines in barrel, including the Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon. Enjoy tasting the current release Reserve Chardonnay, Founder's Reserve Pinot Noir, and Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon with a sit-down tasting while taking in the panoramic valley views in the stunning Vineyard View Room. You'll also be treated to the current release and a library selection of Abacus, accompanied by a cheese and charcuterie pairing. To recreate the experience at home, winners will receive three 750ml bottles of the XXI bottling of Abacus.
