WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
Dark berry aromas burst out of the glass with boysenberry, Bing cherry and black berry notes mingled with licorice, cocoa and caramel. Layered in are hints of sage, earth, and cedar to balance the dominant fruit aromas. On the palate the wine is rich yet balanced with brambly, dark, wild berry fruit followed by lingering notes of toasted marshmallow and baking spices. This powerful mountain cabernet is loaded with ripe fruit that is balanced and elegant on the palate with soft tannins to complete this classic Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon.
Blend: 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Petite Sirah, 3% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc
