Tasting Notes

The opaque ruby color tinged in violet hints at the potential concentration of this Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. Heady aromas of blackberry jam, blueberry preserves and Chambord sweetened with notes of baking spices and cocoa waft up the glass. Firmly structured with fine-grained tannins, the freshness of this full-bodied Cabernet lifts the alluring ripeness of black fruit laced with cocoa, espresso and spice. Dense flavors of dark plum, blackberry and cassis linger on the palate for a long, earthy finish.

      Vintage Notes
      An exceptional vintage, the 2018 season started with a cool spring that delayed flowering but fruit set was fine and even. With few exceptions, Summer was moderate, sunny and dry without major heat spikes. The mild weather extended through the Fall, allowing Cabernet Sauvignon to hang longer on the vine to develop flavors and achieve phenolic ripeness without additional sugar accumulation, resulting in beautiful structure, intense color, concentration of fruit and excellent balance in the wines. The grapes for the blend were harvested between October 20 – 31st.
