April Xie secured a spot in the Michelin guide for her work with Beijing’s food and wine experience, and it gave her the confidence to come to California in search of another adventure. Her father Dominic Xie purchased the former Cahill Estate in 2012, and he enlisted the help of his daughter to turn the Russian River property into a world class winery. The Xie family had been on the forefront of California wine education and promotion, but the leap into winemaking represented a bold new step with the renamed Ektimo estate.

Borrowing from the French tradition of selling wine as futures (or en primeur), Ektimo sells much of its established Sonoma County Pinot Noir and Chardonnay in advance to club members, so often little of it comes to retail. Some back vintages of their Cabernet Sauvignon, however, made from all Napa Valley fruit, became available to us recently and our wine staff jumped on it.

The Cabernet is 100% Oakville-sourced and sees 24 months in French oak, 30% of it new. At 14.5%, it’s bold, but the strength and heft of the wine never overpower its inherent flavors. Described as “an elegant take on a powerful wine,” we found it to be smooth and elegant with wild blackberry and raspberry notes molding into just a hint of new oak on the finish.
