Napa wineries

So I looked through the other threads and most centered around food and wineries I have heard of (Caymus, Opus one etc.).
I am coming to the board for a suggestion for two wineries that specialize in Cabernet (can be Bordeaux style or single grape). The current itenirary is:
Day 1: don Chandon and Maisonry
Day 2: Spring Mountain, Cade and [open]
Day 3: Gemstone and [open]
I have thought about Cliff Lede (really want to try poetry and try and buy a songbook if they have one) and Tuck Beckerstoff. I am open to anything, doesn’t have to have an amazing view or anything just kick arse wine.

Full disclosure: i am no wine expert but I found the Frank Family Vineyards wines in Calistoga to be very nice.

Check out Spottswoode. Great cabs.

Joseph Phelps was impressive and great wine- appointment needed. Do the terrace tasting and be sure to try Insignia. It is the only one of about 9 I visited that I wouldn’t miss going to again if I’m in Napa. Of all the ones I visited, I would not go to Chandon again.
Did not visit Caymus, but they make great wine.

If you want Cabernet, Jordan is the GOAT.
Also, try Peju

On Mountain day, give Robert Keenan some consideration.
Start off a day with Failla's spotlight tour. Great pinots and chards. We are members there.
Consider going to Young Inglewood. Fantastic, balanced wines. We are members there as well.
Don't miss Larkmead. Can't afford to be members there
Larkmead will likely waive your (expensive) tasting fees with a single bottle purchase.
Spottswoode also shouldn't be missed. Fantastic tour, very limited - I think they can host 40 or 50 people weekly. Get a spot early. Love their wines.
I have plenty more recommendations, these are just the top few. Let me know if you'd like more.

Round Pond is an awesome cab. Ask to taste their Gravel Series.
It’s next door to Caymus and so much better. Caymus was grossly overrated and won’t go back.

For Cab, Louis Martini. They specialize in Cab. Try the Lot 1. It’s fantastic.

Rombauer Winery in St. Helena. Located on the Silverado Trail north of Napa. Best wines in the area in my opinion. No food is served there but they do have nice views and a tasting room and a drinking area. I highly recommend.
