Tasting Notes:
This is a fresh, elegant, dark fruit-driven and lightly herbal Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. Typical blackcurrant and blueberry aromas fill out the nose and the initial impression on the palate, with some cheerful and soft red raspberry. Subtle at first but more apparent with exposure and time, there is a pleasantly bitter catch of perfume on the palate, light hints of warm cinnamon and a refreshing mint–herbal tea aroma.
The wine conceals its alcohol well, even seeming slightly light-bodied; lively and refreshing acid complements and draws out what otherwise might be a faint, delicate herbal aspect. Winemaking is restrained, showcasing instead the quality and the character of the grapes
