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 Wine: The intense color of opulent rubies is of note at the onset. Oak-scented cherry and berry aromas lead to rich fruit on the palate. A perfect mix of bright berry flavors laced with smoky oak held in balance with affirming tannins makes this wine luscious in the mouth through a long, lingering finish. The Matches: An indulgent partner to the finest beef, lamb or game is found in this opulent Cabernet Sauvignon. The addition of thyme, full-flavored mushrooms or peppercorns to the entree creates wonderful harmony with this wine.

Complex and enticing aromas of cassis, clove and rose petals are enhanced by the gentle waft of oak. Sophisticated and balanced, earthy round cherry and cassis flavors fill the mouth and linger through the finish.

Soft, round, and devilishly complex, this delicious Cabernet takes the nose by storm with blackberry, black cherry, black pepper, plums and humidor tobacco. Full of ripe berry fruit, with a voluptuous full body, the firm, well-balanced tannin structure ensures ageability for those who can resist the temptation to enjoy this luscious wine now.
