- Color: Deep, opaque ruby. Nose: Aromas of ripe, pure black currant (cassis) and black fruit-the characteristics we prize in Napa Valley Cabernet-with compelling notes of clove, toasted hazelnuts, and espresso-roast coffee beans. Subtle secondary notes of vanilla and toasty oak then fold in. Mouth: A core of deeply extracted, lush berry fruit underpins the wine during its evolution in the mouth as other flavor layers emerge: bittersweet cocoa, creamy vanilla, cedar and a light touch of mint. The fruit and oak tannins are beautifully knit, reinforcing the overall impression of sweetness. read more...
