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.

Reviews

Wine.com

Gloriously well-stuffed with concentrated black cherry fruit and loaded with very flashy oak this attention-getting Merlot carries the kind of depth range and richness to garner a place at the very head of the class. It relies on ripeness without wholly giving itself over to that ripeness and if slightly hot at the end it does not let up in richness or fruit at any point. Its evident tannins do argue against straightaway drinking however and five years of patient keeping are called for.
