Rombauer Vineyards, Napa Valley (California) Cabernet Sauvignon 2016

 Another great Cabernet Sauvignon from the western white house. That may sound funny, but what you may not know is that this is the wine that started it for Rombauer, not the Chardonnay you’re likely thinking of.  It’s a tempered full-tilt Napa Cabernet, with mild dried herbs, spice and supple structure reining in the pulsating berry fruit and pushing the finish into the distance.  A blind tasting benchmark of the region.  Contains 8% Petit Verdot and 5% Cabernet Franc.
