WINE OVERVIEW

Exceptionally elegant and highly sought-after estate Cabernet Sauvignon from 6th generation Napa Valley vintners.

Tasting Notes

Notes of crème de cassis soar from the glass together with vanilla and sweet oak. This wine hits the palate with dark berries, graphite, chocolate nuance, and licorice. Dense full-bodied tannin and exciting spice create a layered richness and profound finish.

Food Pairing

Try with a meaty lasagna, peppered steak with a balsamic glaze or dark chocolate cake.

Ratchets up the intensity and is a blockbuster styled effort in the vintage. Blackberries, plums, roasted herbs, chocolate, and flowery incense notes all define the aromatics, and it's full-bodied, with a plush, seamless mouthfeel, velvety tannins, and a great finish. It benefits from air and should be given just 2-3 years of bottle age. This ripe, opulent, incredibly sexy 2021 will evolve for 2 decades if well stored. Jeb Dunnuck December 2023
