Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley, California, USA
Such a beautiful cab, everything one is looking for in Napa. Deep ruby/purple. Dark ripened fruit with oak and vanilla aromas. Some coffee and dark chocolate. It’s bold and smooth with beautifully balanced acidity and medium tannins. Good, long finish.

Deep ruby color. Concentrated aromas and flavors of dark berries, plums and currants along with notes of fresh herbs, baking spices and a touch of black pepper. Hint of minerality on the very long finish. Nice oak integration. Tannins are noticeable but in harmony. Appreciate you opening this one, Keith S!

Primarily Cabernet Sauvignon (88%) with small amounts of Merlot, Petite Verdot, Syrah and Cabernet Franc. Dark ruby color with purple highlights. Aromas of blackberry, dark chocolate and pleasant oak. Bold dark fruits fill the pallet along with hints of coffee and a touch of minerality on the long and luxurious finish. Fresh acidity and lush tannins. Approachable now, but will continue to further develop with additional bottle age. Quite good.
