Winemaker Notes
The winemakers used all five Bordeaux varieties to create the essence of Napa Valley in this Cabernet Sauvignon-dominant wine. Malbec, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and a touch of Petit Verdot bring out the nuances in the blend, which was fermented completely in stainless steels tanks before aging 10 months in French oak, 25% new barrels.
Inviting and expressive aromatics of red cherries, blackcurrants, rose petals, cigar boxes, baking spices and wet slate. Spicy red plum, nutmeg, molasses, with gentle, soft tannins and a balanced, flavorful finish.
