Redcurrant and tile with some clove. Dark stone, too. Medium-bodied with some fresh herbs and dried thyme. Medium, ripe tannins. Fresh, creamy finish. A blend of 93% cabernet sauvignon with petite sirah and cabernet franc. Drink or hold.

Fresh, direct and focused, with red currant and cherry coulis notes that race through, dotted with savory, floral and tobacco accents. Judicious toast lets the fruit play out, and there’s solid energy throughout. Drink now through 2030.

This is a beauty that is far more elegant than any Napa Cab has been at this price point in decades. The tannins are silky smooth with a plush, rounded mouthfeel and wonderful balance. Well- integrated baking spice notes of cherry vanilla, cinnamon, and ginger from the toasted oak barrels seamlessly complement the berry fruit aromas and flavors, leading to a long, savory finish with focused acidity. This crowd-pleasing Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is incredibly drinkable now, upon release, and can age for many years to come.
