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.

Showing a sense of restraint and balance that is unusual at this price point this offers a fine marriage of Dark cherry and plum fruits with integrated notes of mint and wood spice. Smooth and well integrated with a fine finish this needs an hour or so to really hit it’s stride but once there it pumps out classic Cabernet flavors with a smooth, dark, spicy vibe. 2009-2014 89pts
