Product Information
Producer notes: "This vintage has pronounced mountain fruit intensity. Complex aromas of dark fruit, spice and balanced oak notes were described in our production tasting as wonderfully mysterious. In addition to the classic Cabernet characters of black cherry, blackberry and cassis, we find black licorice, star anise, coriander and bay leaf spices. Starting with a ripe, bold mouth-feel, there is a complexity to this vintage that we love. Ripe fruit, cherry candy and floral characters linger as layers of fruit continue to reveal themselves. There is an earthy, mature tannin texture from the Rutherford Dust and mountain vineyards that contribute to create a bitter-sweet cocoa powder taste and feel. Also lingering in the background is a baked or caramelized sugar note that adds to the long finish. Another fine example of what 100% Napa Cabernet Sauvignon can produce: a delicious wine after the proper barrel and bottle aging and a great candidate for cellar aging
