WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
The mélange for this Cabernet is specifically sourced from 4 different soil types throughout Napa, each soil creating subtle differences in the wines character, for a wine that provides the perfect amount of fruit, earth and tannin. All dark fruits of plums and blackberries with cappuccino, dark toffee, roasted chestnuts and Medjool dates. Nuanced characteristics of oak and earth suggest great Rioja and Right-bank Bordeaux, but with an incredible amount of polish.
TASTING NOTES:
Pleasantly earthy, with flavors of cassis, cedar and accents of red fruit and sweet oak spice. This Cabernet Sauvignon enjoys the structural addition of Petit Verdot. Together, they offer velvety-fine tannins and a lingering finish, a tribute to the varying soil series throughout the vineyard. Consider decanting.
