The Wine

This wine shows all the classic characteristics of great Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. The color is a bold, dark garnet hue. The nose displays notes of cassis and dried cherries along with dried herb, sage, and crushed rock. In the periphery you get some dark and rich qualities with hints of toasty oak, peppercorns, violets, and dark chocolate. The palate is on point with the aromas; loads of ripe red fruits are encircled by mouth-coating, youthful tannins. This is a great wine start to finish with a nice pop of acid that hits in the middle and draws through to a lengthy finish.
