Napa Valley, California, USA
Blend of 84% Cab Sauv, 4% Syrah, 4% Petite Sirah, 3% Merlot, 2% Touriga Nacional, 2% Cab Franc and 1% Charbono. Deep Ruby with aromas of ripe berry fruit, cedar and floral spice. On the palate flavors of ripe blackberry, black cherry and currants with complex spice showing notes of cacao, cinnamon and rich vanilla oak. Fine soft tannins, nice mouthfeel, great balance with acidity, long finish, ending with oak, herb and mineral notes. Nice!

BV 2017 with homemade pasta. Smooth, solid start and an aftertaste reminiscent of a warm California sunset 23 years ago in the BV vineyard.

Fine with Pat’s grilled steak ($21), but preferred Walla Walla cab blends

I have always enjoyed this Old World Style BV Cabernet! Nice dark berries and chocolate but what I love is the tar, pencil lead and graphite on midpalate a really nice integration of flavors! Not a big Napa Cab..just really pleasing for a tough vintage! PnP on this!
