Fiadh Ruadh is a micro winery located in Napa Valley, specializing in Cabernet Sauvignon. Founded by winemaker Nova Cadamatre, who has 20 years of experience in the industry, the winery's inaugural vintage was in 2018. Nova's winemaking journey began in Pennsylvania and included significant roles at Robert Mondavi and Constellation Brands, where she honed her skills in producing high-quality wines. The winery's name, Fiadh Ruadh, reflects Nova's commitment to crafting elegant and refined wines. The 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon from Oakville is noted for its bright acidity and food-friendly profile, distinguishing it from the typical overripe styles of Napa. The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon from Stags Leap District showcases a complex bouquet and a balanced texture, emphasizing Nova's focus on the wine's mouthfeel. While Nova and her husband Brian are based in New York, they manage Fiadh Ruadh remotely, producing wines at Red Newt Cellars. The winery aims to produce small quantities annually, with plans to continue this trend moving forward. Visitors can expect a unique tasting experience that highlights Nova's innovative approach to winemaking.
