What to Expect

California's Napa Valley has been a source of world-class Cabernet Sauvignon for well over a century. Its warm climate and varied terrain allows for many styles of wine. One thread that runs through almost all the Cabernet based wines from Napa is their lush, ripe full-bodied feel and rich flavors of currant and berry. Wines from the valley floor, particularly around Rutherford, are famed for a dusty quality and those coming from the hillsides surrounding the valley, Mt. Veeder, Diamond Mountain and Howell Mountain for example, tend to be a little leaner with more obvious structural elements.

The nose opens with aromas of concentrated black berry and cassis accented by spicy cedar and vanilla. Sweet chocolate and flashy oak notes add opulence and complexity to this fully ripe and extracted Cabernet Sauvignon. Big, rich Cabernet characters of dark fruits, herb and cedar expand on the palate. Firm but balanced tannins give structure and texture to the mouth as the flavors flow seamlessly into a long chocolaty/berry finish.
