WINEMAKER'S NOTE:
From the heart of the Napa Valley, a classic Cabernet Sauvignon overflowing with Oakville typicity. Garnet hue gives way to a beautifully balanced and focused nose, with a pleasant offering of blackberry preserves and vanilla bean, but also a more intriguing dark side...something like fresh asphalt after a first rain. On the palate, fresh fruit abounds, structured around nice chewy tannins that carry an unusually long finish. Pure Oakville. Pour more.
TASTING NOTE:
This bold wine is spicy, soft and supple in style, with a velvety texture and balanced richness. The fruit is dense and succulent, a mix of dark plum, cherry and cassis that play well against notes of cigar box, cedar and dark chocolate.
