A classic Napa Valley profile of blackberry, cassis, soft dried herbs get gentle handling that allows the fruit to shine in forward fashion. Supple grip helps a little pepper come out in the finish, adding depth to the rich fruit. This is delightful now and will age beautifully. Contains 49% Merlot, 28% Cabernet Sauvignon and 23% Cabernet Franc.
