A very good, down-the-middle Napa cab with great red and black fruit flavors and a warm, moderately tannic texture. Full-bodied, blended from different parts of the valley floor, it is mouth-filling, generous and nicely concentrated. Drink or hold.

Winemaker Notes

This is a quintessential Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon with pronounced aromas of blackberry, cassis, and vanilla that welcome you into the glass. Flavors of black plums, nutmeg, dark chocolate, and a touch of espresso enhance the wine's complex and full-bodied structure, with a core of elegant acidity from start to finish.

Blend: 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot, and 2% Cabernet Franc
