Top Notes For
Sipping Fine Wine

From small Napa producer. Mostly Cab Sauv 50% and Merlot 36% with added Cab Franc & Petit Verdot, aged 22 months in 70% new French oak, deep Ruby, aromas of black fruits with floral spice notes. On the palate blackberry and blueberry fruit with good mouthfeel and balance with notes of cedar and vanilla, beginning to develop some leather and cacao character. Fine smooth tannins, medium+ finish. Tasting Sample.
