This wine from the Yountville region is the kind of Cabernet that brings a smile to your face the way a good single-malt Scotch will do – very harmonious, very structured, made for sipping slowly if you have the time to do that. The primary flavors are those of dark berries with a hint of mintiness that blends well with the woody, walnutty, savory undertones. The harmony of the wine extends to the finish, with the tannins so well-integrated you barely notice them except for their addition to the taste.
