TASTING NOTES
Hailing from the cooler Coombsville regions, the warmer St. Helena, the mountainous Mount Veeder, and the valley floor Rutherford, the fruit we source for this bottling produces a bright and complex blend that reflects all the best elements of Napa. A deep magenta color leads to an enveloping aroma of cedar, shaved graphite, black plum, and dried thyme. The flavor and structure is all Napa Valley! The wine is medium-full bodied with a beautiful rich, supple texture and flavors of dark fruit, exotic spices (nutmeg & cinnamon), tobacco, coffee, and dark chocolate. There is a nice brightness from the acidity, a subtle kiss of tannin, and nice ripe fruit to make this a complete Napa Valley cabernet sauvignon -Winemaker's Notes
90pts - Wine Enthusiast
"Rose petal and violet aromas spin through flavors of fleshy, ripe fruits—blackberries and black plum. Especially mouthwatering and persistent, this good value Cabernet is lengthy and perfect for meals with mixed company and a lot of fun."
